Things change. #be

The DNA made everybody jump to a conclusion. That's what's wrong. People think technology is an easy ride. They're watching too much TV. #tc

I know that passion is a key element in any investigation. Passion is the fuel that keeps my fire burning. #aoi

It's been my experience that people will kill for any reason and no reason at all. #wsog

I've been on this road before. I know where it goes. On the one hand, who cares? But on the other hand, I care. #to

I don't care. It's all about the book. It begins and ends with the book. When can I get a copy? #tcr

Most cops never realized how important the initial interview with a suspect or witness was to an investigation. #lc

You have no idea what I'm feeling right now. #boschlegacy

To think about failure is to invite failure. #cb

With cops the word motherfucker is rarely used. It is heard a lot by them but not used. #af

Predators don't stop, until they are caught. They just adapt and continue, moving like sharks to the next victim. #wsog

I have spent a lifetime alone, but not necessarily lonely. #cb

This moment is the most important moment of your life. The choice you are about to make is the most important choice of your life. #bb

I like the starkness of the desert. Maybe I draw from it what Terry McCaleb drew from living on an island. A sense of distance from all the nastiness. #tn

I just don't like sloppy work. It leaves loose ends. #tc

It always bothers me when I see justice and the law being manipulated by smart lawyers. #tr

The law can bend. If there are lawyers involved, then there is always a deal to be made. I know that is how it works. #tcr

It's just kind of amazing to think that we can send those things up, circle around the moon, fix satellites, and do whatever they are doing and we can't fix things down here. #dsn

You have to have an emotional response. It is that response that lights the match that starts the fire of relentlessness. #tcr

I love the solitary moments of concentration and case thought. #tcr

Bureaucracy, politics, and the inability of public institutions to humbly acknowledge mistakes are all to blame. #tcr

Give us what you got so we can go out there and do our job. #cob

How empty my life would feel without the connection to my daughter. It is more than the shared experience of police work. It is sacred. She is my legacy. I know that she is what makes everything I do worth it. #rw

I felt in many ways that I was on a roll and it defies the law of averages, which holds that you win some and you lose some. #br

Las Vegas. Beneath the veneer of glitz and money and energy and sex beats a dark heart. #tm

You can believe you are an outsider. But the innocence of a child will give you the shield of joy with which to protect yourself. #tn

While there are many handicaps in the investigation of year-old cases - loss of evidence, witnesses, crime scenes - the element of time can also be advantageous. I always look for ways to turn time in my favor. #dsn

Los Angeles is a place that operates on hope. Vegas is different. To me it operates on desire and on that road is ultimate heartbreak. #ll

It has been my experience that an alibi - even a legitimate one - is seldom bulletproof. #tnf

Places are safe until they aren't. It takes only one moment, one bad actor, one chance crossing of predator and prey to change things. #tkot

I have always operated according to the axiom that everybody counts in this world or nobody counts. This belief dictates that I must give each case and each victim my best effort. #dsn

You wade through the cesspool every day and soon it seems that that is all there is. #cob

Sunsets make you forget it is the smog that makes their colors so brilliant, that behind every pretty picture there can be an ugly story #be

A good investigator always knows the motivation of his sources - it's called having a bullshit meter. #dmtn

I believe in the circle. The big wheel. What goes around comes around. Eventually. #dmtn

There can be no greater crime against a police officer than to threaten his family. You do that, and all bets are off. #dsn

When it rains you stay away from the narrows. #tn

Getting the quote right isn't what matters. It's remembering what it means. #ll

It is always better to make an entrance through a known entity - a lateral rather than direct approach. #br

Ultimately, people choose their own path. They can be pointed and pushed, but they always get the final choice. #cob

You make choices. Sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they're right. You do your best. #boschtv

To me, every day I have left on the job is golden. The hours are like diamonds - as valuable as anything on earth. #br

As surely as murder is an art for some who committed it, homicide investigation is an art for those on the mission. #cb

Politicians can talk about building walls and changing laws to keep people out, but in the end they are just symbols. #wsog

Time always favored the interviewer, never the suspect. In RHD, they called it "seasoning the roast". #9d

I don't understand why people are always typing feverishly on their phones. I am sure it is a sign of the decline of civilization. #to

Everyone has two dogs fighting inside. One does the right thing, one doesn't. The one you choose to feed is the one who wins. #boschtv

An instant command of case details is required for the successful completion of an investigation. #tn

Every defense lawyer in every courthouse says the same thing every day of the week. Every client is innocent. #tcr

I want to keep the focus small for this moment. You always start small and go big. #tkot
