• Conducting crime scene investigations to gather evidence and take pictures for use in court
• Evaluating evidence from investigations and preparing reports and findings
• Assisting local and state law enforcement agencies in conducting investigations
• Making arrests on probable cause with or without search or arrest warrants, including the pursuit, apprehension, and arrest of violators of criminal activities

• Performing related work as required

Minimum training and experience:

Investigator applicants are required to have at least five years of prior law enforcement experience and current certification by the Florida (FDLE) Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission.
