A) View if an item has prints (indicated by little 3x3 dots on items/doors/walls)
B) See corpses easily (which give off a little glow outline, maybe tie in with decomposition)
C) See players easily (which also give of a little glow outline - cloakers glow outline is only visible, appearing as unknown)
It should however come at a much bigger caveat. It should not let you see further in the dark and being in the view of hotspots/fire will begin to hurt your eyes (along with the rest of current negativeness). For that reason, it might be good to have it toggable on your hud.
This entire post is good, but I just need to mention how much I adore this thermals idea. It would both push thermals into being useful, and make using them align really well with the Detective's stated goal of, well, doing detective work. Prints being visible would go a long way towards promoting forensics investigation, in my opinion.
