Criminal Investigators utilize standard investigative and law enforcement techniques. Incumbents are assigned responsibility for investigative assignments or functions within an enforcement area (e.g., task force, general investigations unit). Positions at this level receive general supervision from a Supervising Investigator. Work is reviewed through case reports, activity reports, meetings and as the need arises.

Incumbents establish an investigative plan including identifying and interviewing witnesses, identifying untrue statements; identifying company and assets owned or listed in sales literature; determining evidence needed to prove case; and identifying any additional jurisdictional issues. In addition, investigators prepare, obtain and execute legal documents such as affidavits, search warrants, arrest warrants, and subpoenas in support of the criminal justice process and criminal prosecution; and prepare detailed investigative reports of the investigative process in a chronological order to include violations committed, documented evidence, witness statements and provide testimony in a court of law.
