A detective, sometimes referred to as an investigator, normally works with a law enforcement agency. Called in for specific situations, a detective collects evidence and analyzes the facts in a criminal case. Duties of a detective generally include interviewing witnesses and suspects, examining records involved with a case, observing potential suspects, and taking part in arrests.

Detectives and investigators work on a full-time basis with the likelihood of paid overtime. Shifts during the weekends and the night are common for those without seniority on a police force. There can be great personal reward in serving the public's needs for protection and justice. The career carries a higher-than-average risk of confrontation with criminals, personal injury, and even death.

Detectives investigate to prevent crimes or solve criminal cases. They also collect evidence of possible crimes and gather facts related to them.

While all detectives perform similar duties, not all have the same employer; i.e. the government. In addition to police detectives, there are also private detectives, who may work for individual clients such as law firms and insurance companies.

Being a detective is a career and not a job and therefore becoming a detective is a long process that requires commitment.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that police detectives must have a high school diploma or GED. However, an associate degree in criminal justice may enhance a candidate’s chances of employment, as some police departments require a college degree. Proficiency in a language other than English may further enhance chances of employment. Previous military experience may also increase the chances of employment.

One of the fundamental requirements to be a detective is US citizenship. In addition, most prospective police officers must be at least 21 years of age, hold a Valid driver’s license, and meet specific physical qualifications of the police department they are applying to.

If you think you can fulfill the requirements then take the first step in becoming a police officer and ultimately a detective.
