There's a difference between police and army. In army, NS NCOs and commissioned officers can and are entrusted to do whatever regulars can and are entrusted to do. In police, the investigator job is already out for PNS, since no HI would want to train and groom someone going to ROD next year. You can be a reservist soldier or officer, but you can't be a reservist investigator in charge of long haul cases. Only a few NSPI were given the chance during PNSF, but that's for show of political correctness only.
Given their age, NSPIs don't make good investigators. They have to usualy deal with complainants and accused old enough to be their parents or grandparents. Sometimes, they get bullied by members of public. When they leave, they usually leave behind many IPs which didn't move much and the regulars (IOs) will kpkb.
