CCG Info

**Ghoul investigators** (喰種捜査官) are specially-trained professionals employed by the Commission of Counter Ghoul. Most are stationed at the CCG Main Office in the 1st Ward (Chiyoda), but many are occasionally granted authority to conduct investigations in one of Tokyo's other wards. They are tasked with the investigation, pacification, and elimination of ghouls to protect the civilians of Japan from any potential harm caused by them. During their investigations, they analyze crime scenes for traces of ghoul perpetrators, expose their identities, and incapacitate or neutralize them.

Ghouls often refer to them as **doves**.

## Education

Aspiring ghoul investigators usually join the CCG's Ghoul Investigator Training Academy at 18 years old, where they undertake a two-year course. When they enter the CCG at the age of 20, they begin their career as Rank 2 investigators.

Rarely, ghoul investigators are employed even though they did not graduate from the Training Academy. These investigators are inducted by order of the CCG's Chairman, and begin their careers as Rank 3 investigators.

## Equipment

Since the investigators as humans lack the physique, stamina, and strength to manually handle ghouls in combat, they are compelled to use tactical, man-made weapons. Only ghoul investigators are permitted to be armed with quinques, the most effective weapons against ghouls made from a ghoul's kakuhou. Additionally, they are sometimes armed with firearms loaded with Q bullet ammunition.

## Ranks

An investigator's rank determines their level of responsibility, access to risky missions and dangerous targets, salary rate, weapon accessibility, and numerous other aspects of their career. The ranks are divided into two separate categories - senior investigators and junior investigators, with Commission Executives falling under the former. While senior investigators may be partnered together as necessary, junior investigators cannot be partnered with other inexperienced investigators.

When in squads, the position of squad leader is held by the investigator of highest rank while the position of vice-squad leader goes to the investigator of second-highest rank, unless otherwise specified.
