This subject turned into a real 'political hot potato'. The policy of the Police was to not offer a reward, whereas most of the other factions involved were furious one was not offered sooner. Police had learned that rewards sometimes not only did not help at all, but in some cases, complicated already complicated circumstances, and could be detrimental to solving the crime.
For City Officials, which were not bound by Home Office rules, the two groups clashed head-on. This 'butting of heads' came to a peak when Commisioner Warren ordered the erasure of the message on the wall near the Eddows murder scene. This decision probably sealed Warren's fate, and even before the murder of Mary Kelly, Warren had resigned as Commissioner.
In the end, a reward was offered, donations from serveral different places that amounted to about 600 pounds.
Footnote:The message that Comm. Warren demanded to be erased was written on the entry of a nearby building. "The Juwes are the men that will be blamed for nothing." was the message, misspellings and all. This message caused much controversy, and Warren had it erased for fear of anti-semetic riots which were a real threat in London's east end.

What were the false starts the police were given when trying to find Jack the Ripper?
Jack the ripper was the first serial killer to reach the media. The world has eyes on him. It was a scandal about the condition the police was at that time. There were no false starts in this case. There was nothing to go on but the remains of the victims. Even today it takes quite some time to catch a murderer on the run, but in the case of Jack the Ripper, there were many aspects police today would not come across.
How many years did they research Jack The Ripper?
This is very difficult to answer because you did not specify who 'they' were. I'll take a guess that you mean Scotland Yard. Actually, the Jack The Ripper case is still an open case and since 1888 many people have tried to discover who the killer was. Scotland Yard stayed with the case at least until the early 1890's. I'm sure it was a great disapointment to the Yard for their failure to catch the Ripper.
