Chief Detective Jobs in Dallas, TX

A Chief Detective, also known as a Detective Superintendent, plays a pivotal role in the law enforcement industry, overseeing the operations and activities of a team of detectives. Their responsibilities typically involve strategizing and implementing various investigative procedures, ensuring the accuracy of the investigation process, managing the collection and preservation of evidence, and coordinating with other law enforcement agencies. They also participate in high profile or complex investigations and supervise the preparation of case reports.
