As far as the police dept. goes, I am waiting for the conversation where someone would have to point out that if, hypothetically of course, he's not psychic, that would mean the SBPD has been using regular, unliscensed private detective to help them solve cases that their own detectives can't, and if that is the case, it would be very embarassing to the department. Therefore, it is just safer to agree that Shawn is in fact psychic, rather than brilliant.
I think about that all the time! Like, if the police department ever did find out he wasn't psychic, would they arrest him for lying to the cops for so long, or hire him on the spot because obviously he's a better detective than everyone else there?
As for Jules, I think she might tell the department, if she did find out about Shawn; while she's not nearly as by-the-book as Lassie, she seems to take her job pretty seriously. At the very least it would be a hard choice for her.
