Since the case was dismissed, that indicates they figured out they were wrong. You have to get all the documents you can from them to show what you were accused of. Then look at them, and see if there is a very obvious problem you can sue them for, but maybe there isn't one. If they had a reasonable doubt you might have done something then they have to investigate. But maybe after their investigation, they figured you were innocent, or they didn't find enough evidence to suggest you were wrong. When cops investigate, they will say anything to get you to talk with them. You said "The detectives and us got together and found ways for my sister to get out of the house more volunteer work and community Services...ect to hopefully get her out of the mind frame she was in." They may have been just getting information. Maybe they told you someone else said something bad about you, also to get you angry and make you explain "your side of the story" just to get more info (they really don't give a damn about your side, obviously). Maybe that information corroborated other information they had, then they proceeded with the arrest etc. Then they got more info that cleared you. Sorry dude that is just how they investigate stuff. They had 'probable cause' to investigate, it sounds like they did make some effort to investigate, talking to you several times. But ultimately they figured either you didn't do it, or not enough evidence. So even though it was a big mess for you, it is quite possible they were not completely unreasonable.
