ABSTRACT
To this point we have addressed criminal investigations from the law enforcement perspective, with the understanding that it is beneficial for both law enforcement and criminal defense investigators (CDIs) to know the correct methods of criminal investigation. Yet, for criminal defense investigators it is not enough just to know what the police do; they must develop investigative techniques to identify what the police did not do or what was done incorrectly. Law enforcement investigators will be best advised to take notice of the methods used by criminal defense investigators as well, for they are the mirrors by which your work will be evaluated by a jury.
