There are SVU units (and so named) with law enforcement agencies around the country. Typically they deal with sexually related crimes and crimes against children and the elderly (not necessarily sexual offenses).

Officers in these units are specially trained to identify the "special" crimes and how to deal with the victims - where to get them the assistance they need.

I don't think the suits at NBC would have felt comfortable using the word "sex" in the title of (what they hoped would, and did) become a highly rated show.

I sometimes wonder what qualifies their work as "major case."
In many PDs it means "politically sensitive", "likely to step on the toes of someone who may have given money or other favors to 'hooked up' folks". IOW, be very careful who you PO when conducting this investigation. In at least one LARGE department with which I'm familiar it also deals with the long term planning for "state" funerals, weddings etc.
