Fred at Slacktivist covered this: Don’t Worry: Penelope Garcia is a Good Guy.
I seem to remember another piece somewhere on the subject, bringing in Abby from NCIS and one or two others as well.
For me, it’s also the little details that make it impossible to suspend my disbelief: supervisors in their mid-20’s and high-level supervisors in their mid-30’s, the entire shift all go out together to apprehend the bad guys, women who have to run after perps on a daily basis wearing stiletto heels to work…etc. etc.
