There has recently been an increase of television shows where psychics help the police to solve crimes. I hate to break it to you, but generally speaking this sort of thing doesn't happen, for several reasons.

First, the public and particularly the police are skeptical of the abilities of psychics. As most true psychics can not focus their talents on a specific question -like "Where is the lost child?" and get reliable answers. For a psychic to be of real help in this crime they need to be able to pinpoint the child's whereabouts. "237 North main Street in the basement" is not usually what they get. More likely they will see "A dark place, below ground" "Near traffic" "Under the yellow roses" It is not an exact science, in spite of what you may see on TV.

Second, most psychics are reluctant to contact the authorities with a "vague" idea. Who would pay much attention to a person claiming to know the president is going to be shot. And if they did, what are the chances the psychic would be under suspicion of being part of the plot.

I am not saying there aren't psychics that help solve crime, but they are rare people and rarer police officers.
