Investigations Bureau Employment

INVESTIGATIONS BUREAU

The Investigation Bureau has over 180 investigators who possess full police powers under the Illinois statues. This Bureau has two divisions: Trial Support and Special Investigations/Narcotics. Each of these divisions has a number of functional sections and units. The goals of the Investigations Bureau are threefold: (1) to provide investigative and logistical support to assistant state's attorney's in their preparation and presentation of cases scheduled for trial, (2) to complement or supplement local law enforcement efforts by providing them with investigative assistance, expertise and technical resources, and (3) to initiate and conduct investigations of offenses which are very specialized and which, for a number of reasons, may not be handled by other law enforcement agencies, i.e. official misconduct, public integrity, election fraud, child support, and complex financial crimes.
