Detective Bureau

The Detective Bureau is comprised of detectives and investigators as well as task force officers from federal and local agencies, who investigate crimes that require specialized investigative techniques. Some of these techniques include forensic examinations and the cultivation of informants. They require exhaustive dedication, and ultimately, accurate court testimony in order to pursue a case through to its final resolution.
