The Tarrant County
Criminal District Attorney’s Criminal Investigation
Division consists of fifty-five certified Texas Peace
Officers whose primary mission is to support the
prosecution of criminal cases filed with our office.
Investigators are assigned a wide variety of duties in
many specialized areas of criminal investigation.
Twelve investigators are members of the Tarrant County
Narcotics Task Force.
Our investigators’
activities include locating and interviewing
witnesses, completing any necessary additional
investigation into cases filed with our office, and
investigating certain offenses that are reported
directly to our office. They arrest suspects,
interview witnesses, and file criminal cases with the
grand jury. The investigators also participate in
various county, state, and federal task forces
targeting certain types of offenses such as narcotics,
child pornography, and computer crime.
EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS
At a minimum, our
investigators must be currently certified as Texas
Peace Officers by the Texas Commission on Law
Enforcement Officers Standards and Education. They
must have an associate degree or its equivalent and
five years of law enforcement experience.
This is not an "entry
level" position in law enforcement. Our investigators
have a wide background in police work and usually are
experienced investigators with a proven ability to
function as a member of a professional organization.
