Investigation.

In order to cope with many sides of crime, the investigator in today’s police agency must be skillfully and scientifically trained in the art of investigation. In addition, the man or woman selected for the work of criminal investigation must possess high personal integrity, superior intelligence and patience.

About five crimes are committed every minute in the USA today. The crime rate increasing faster that the population, it can be easily seen that the problem is becoming more acute, and the skills of the criminal investigator are to be developed to the highest possible degree.

The specialized work of criminal investigation has two purposes:

- gathering of facts and other information to determine whether a criminal violation has been committed and to determine the identity of the violator;

- the collection, preservation and preparation of evidence that will be admissible and effective before the court of jury to convict the defendant.

To fulfill these two purpose the investigator must be guided by and adhere to constitutional law. His evidence in a criminal case must not be evidence used against the defendant in violation of his constitutional rights.

The crime community is never idle to devise new patterns of crime. The criminal investigator must also be searching constantly for new methods of investigation. Although the courts are often slow in accepting new methods of solution, the search for more perfect methods should not be precluded.

Investigation is an art. Since this is so, the variety of methods of

surveillance and interrogation must be learned, not from books only, but from extended practice and analysis.
