French translation:my opinion

Explanation:
C'est Priority Homicide Division. Je dirais simplement chef de la Brigade Criminelle. Faut pas forcer des termes qui n'existent pas dans la langue, mais les remplacer, le plus que possible, avec des termes qui existent, sinon le public va etre un peu confus. Plus, c'est seulement un soustitre, ca va passer vite et si les gens restent a penser au sens de ce qu'ils viennent de lire, ils vont "perdre" les soustitres suivant.

homicide traité en priorité

Explanation:
Who decides the priority of violent crime investigations? For instance, a high profile case in Albuquerque, like the Hollywood Video store murders, took precedence when all detectives were working on that case. Another example is the Halloween Skinhead beating case. A homicide detective took over that case and was told that it took precedence because APD neglected to respond to the beating. There was no murder involved but it was made a top priority. Can other homicide investigations suffer due to high profile media cases?

Every case is high priority when it is initially responded to. As the detectives work the leads in the case it may either result in an arrest or a decrease in its priority. There will be times when the chief or mayor may order a case be given priority over others. We will not ignore other cases that are already being investigated.
