Detectives can work privately or at a law enforcement agency to resolve unclear situations, particularly solving crimes and apprehending suspects. They can investigate records, participate in undercover operations, interview witnesses and review forensic evidence to learn about the victim of a crim and possible perpetrators. Detectives can also work to find missing persons and uncover fraud. They collaborate with other law enforcement officers to consider possible scenarios and rule out persons of interest through cross-examining suspects or reverse-engineering the events preceding a crime. Detectives respond to crime scenes, perform surveillance, issue warrants and testify in court.
