This is a valid line of questioning, which I think has largely been addressed in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/numapp/why_do_the_police_consult_psychics/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/numapp.... However, you phrased the question as "Why does the government allow police to work with psychics?". I think that question is a slightly different one. Maybe banning it wholesale at the government level is too controversial and just isn't a priority for them?
