Detective work involves completing initial investigations done by University Police Officers and supervising investigative activities by working with information and evidence to build a case. They recognize, collect, process, and preserve physical evidence. They collect, analyze, and verify information from conversations with persons during investigative activity and assess the internal consistency and value of the information received. The Detectives coordinate investigations with Federal, State, and other local law enforcement agencies, and they make arrests. They interact with prosecutors in developing cases for presentation before the courts.
Detectives appear before the courts to present testimony, evidence, and technical explanation.
