How can i push an criminal investigator to do his job?

Answer 1

Call his supervisor and contact your local representative.

Above all put it in writing on a complaint form. His/Her superior usually can't take action without at least three written complaints of the same nature.

Answer 2

I think you have to define "do his Job" If you mean do his job is move an investigation as fast as you would like, I think you have to reconsider, As an Investigator, I often talk with complainants who don't fully understand that we must follow rules of evidence, and well defined procedures to maintain the integrity of an investigation. I understand the frustration that victims of crime feel when they think an investigation is not moving as quickly as they would like, but an investigatior must work the case from a neutral point of view without the emotions attached. It's important to follow the evidence and work closely with the prosecutor assigned to the case to carefully evaluate the evidence and build the case. You should not automatically think that the investigator is not doing his job. I often call the victims to update them on the status of the investigation. It's important to listen and to have empathy for the victim. Depending on the nature of the crime, most investigations invlove speaking to many witnesses and collecting a great deal of evidence. You should also keep in mind that the investigator is not working on only one case at a time. I currently have over 60 cases I am working. Just because you don't believe anything is happening, it doesn't mean nothing is happening. Much of what is learned during an investigation can't be shared, until it comes to trial. The other investigators I work with are truly dedicated to bringing the guilty to justice. It's not as easy and quick as you see on the television shows. If you truly believe that an investigator is not doing his/her job, please talk to his/her supervisor. Please give the investigator the benefit of the doubt, we are in the job because we want to do it. There is no greater feeling for an investigator to get the bad guy, and to see the victim get the justice they deserve.

Answer 3

Investigators are not slacking people who don't do their job. Granted, you may have one who is guilty of this but for the most part they are not. Take into account, you are but one case in a load of many. Take into account the severity of the crime.

I am an investigator. If he is truely not doing his job and you feel slighted by him, speak with his command. Let them know you are not happy. If the officer has told you that there are legal hinderances or difficulties, verify this with them. Also, ask him to explain why there is no progress. Ask him what has been done. While we can not tell all things, a good investigator or detective will keep you apprised of the investigation and it's status. If we hit a legal road block or stoping point, we can relate that to the victim.

It really all depends on circumstances of the case and the crime. Did he have evidence to go off, a suspect, witnesses.. etc... There are to many variales not listed to give you a good answer, but approach his command if you feel he is not doing justice.

Answer 4

Keep contacting him and asking him about the status of the investigation. Chances are that if you show interest in the case so will he. Keep in mind that detectives in the criminal investigations branch (at least in my city) keep getting cases assigned to them on a daily basis. The ones getting lots of media attention and those requiring immediate follow up and arrests take priority. If you really feel that the person is not doing their job, go to the station, pick up a complaint form and submit it.

The "squeaky wheel gets the grease" saying is very true, so "squeak" away.

Answer 5

Go to see them as often as possible. Always remain respectful and courteous. Ask if there are any new leads that you can follow up to help him - that's a little "innocent" dig.
If they like you and become involved in the case on an emotional level they will usually try a little harder.
And he may not be dragging his feet at all. He may just be at a dead end on leads. It happens.

Answer 6

file a anon. complaint that he/she is not doing their job.
as long as you aren't the only one who thinks so, they won't know who filed it and just might try to work harder. if they know you filed it...they just might try to tick you off even more by slacking off.

Answer 7

Simple, be respectful as possible and keep buggin him.

Answer 8

I think this easy, just tell him if he is your employee! Who can inform me if its wright for me to move to Lisbon?

Answer 9

Good luck...they make up their own stories because they are "
pressed for time"
