That's probably a good thing.

They have no connection to policing and they go around deciding, well, what city should we investigate next? Well, I want to visit my girlfriend in Seattle, so let's find some incident in Seattle to investigate.

The only thing I would correct a little bit in what you say is that the police departments were sort of helpless in accepting these. Oftentimes, to my amazement and frank disgust, The police chief would go along with it, which was such a seemingly completely voluntarily, which was such a admission of complete powerlessness and inefficacy.
