Where are all the police in Sunnydale and why don they seem to care the murder rate is so high?
Apparently, the police are selective about the crimes that they investigate. They have been seen or alluded to in Teacher’s Pet, Some Assembly Required, School Hard, Reptile Boy, The Dark Age, Becoming 1 and 2. There is evidence that they have some idea of the truth, (see School Hard) or they might be pathetically stupid. But the extent of their knowledge is unknown. Many people argue that it is impossible for them NOT to know. In season three, it was revealed that the Mayor has been keeping demonic activity in Sunnydale hush-hush.
