Criminal Investigators perform criminal investigations involving violations of federal and/or State law. The investigative process is initiated following a formal request for services or as a coordinated effort with federal, State, or local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies. Criminal Investigators utilize standard investigative and law enforcement techniques.
Incumbents are assigned responsibility for investigative assignments or functions within an enforcement area (e.g., task force, general investigations unit). Positions at this level receive general supervision from a Supervising Investigator. Work is reviewed through case reports, activity reports, meetings, and as the need arises. Assignments are performed independently or require providing direction to lower level investigators assigned to the case.
Incumbents are assigned responsibility for investigative assignments or functions for the Nevada Secretary of State, Securities Division. Incumbents investigate violations of state securities laws and other areas of laws that fall within the Secretary of State's responsibility. Assignments are performed independently and collaboratively with other peace officers.
