When detective teams prioritize case clearance rates over thorough documentation

Our detective unit has been closing cases by taking shortcuts on evidence documentation and everyone knows it but we're all under pressure to meet clearance rates and no one wants to be the one who slows down the process. I keep telling myself that we're still getting the right people but I'm starting to lose sleep over what we're not documenting properly.
