Detective/s

Detective/s

It is the responsibility of the detective/s in a criminal investigation to attend the scene and liaise with other members of the investigation, such as the forensic scientists, in order to identify the further lines of enquiry that need to take place.  The detective/s will identify what motive there may have been, in the case of murder, and ascertain potential suspects.  The detective/s will have documentation/ records that give a detailed account of the stages of the investigation that are taking place as they will be required to provide evidence in court that establishes to the jury and judge how they have come to the conclusions that they have regarding the criminal investigation.  The use of detectives is required in criminal investigations as they specialise in identifying the motive for the criminal offence, suspects thought to be involved in the criminal offence and the further lines of enquiry that need to take place.  The aforementioned information would be applicable to a terrorist attack and the detectives would play a role, if necessary, in liaising with international police forces.
