Kate Beckett usually answers to Kate Castle (ktbecks) wrote in thedoorway,
Yeah...that's not at all what I said. And it's actually nothing like a psychologist. The reason its a problem is because Castle, like you, doesn't have police training. Without that its dangerous because of the lack of knowledge of protocol, some people also might not be able to compartmentalize, and you are putting a civilian at risk whenever they enter the field. He's also not permitted to carry a weapon, so that's another added problem because there's no way for him to defend himself and, therefore, we are responsible for his safety in a figurative and a literal sense.
But he is an asset. You'd have to really know my story and the person I was before he showed up but....I guess, for the simples explanation, he completed a team that we didn't know needed an extra person. Since he sort of kills people for a living, he's actually brilliant at helping us think about a killer's motives and, because he isn't trained, he considers stuff that we never would.
I doubt you meant to be insulting but just.....he's valuable. To me. That's my point. He's my partner, and that was something that was around long before I ever went on a date with him or took his last name.
