Detective Jobs in Boulder City, NV

A Detective is a crucial part of the Law Enforcement industry that plays an important role in solving crimes and ensuring public safety. Detectives are responsible for conducting extensive investigations, collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and apprehending suspects. They also must work closely with other law enforcement officials and contribute to court proceedings by presenting the evidence they have gathered. In many cases, detectives have a specific area of expertise, such as homicide, narcotics, or cybercrime.
