Detective Jobs in Floral Park, NY

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.

Important skills for a detective to possess include strong analytical skills, excellent communication, and the ability to observe and remember details. Detective work also requires resilience, integrity, and a keen sense of judgment. Certifications may vary, but a degree in Criminal Justice or a related field is often beneficial. Prior to becoming a detective, one might serve as a police officer, a crime scene investigator, or a law enforcement analyst, gaining valuable field experience and knowledge of law enforcement practices and procedures. It's also common for detectives to have passed a police academy training course.
