I think the average copper is only smart enough to catch drink drivers, druggies, pissheads and car thieves (and then only if the thief is actually stopped while driving the stolen car). For everything that requires brains they have specialist branches.
Most crimes these days are solved through technology, not brain cells - CCTV, ANPR, drugs wipes, tracking devices, alarm systems, fingerprint scanners, drones and helicopters with night vision. Without that lot, the police (and us) would be screwed.
