Investigating Institution

This dimension names the institution that actually investigated a specific landmark case. Wikipedia notes that law enforcement agencies exist "for law enforcement within a specific jurisdiction through the employment and deployment of law enforcement officers," officers who are often the ones who first investigated a case that later became a landmark. Browsing this way collects every case investigated by the same institution.
