Special investigators conduct complex investigations such as:
- High profile investigations
- Child fatality investigations
- Employee investigations
- School Investigations
- Labor and sex trafficking investigations
Special investigators may also assist in locating missing families and children in foster care and serve as secondary support to other divisions.
Additionally, special investigators serve as law enforcement liaisons and work collaboratively with multi- disciplinary teams and local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
