District Attorney Investigators assist prosecutor staff in preparing
for the various court processes on cases which were initially
investigated by other law enforcement agencies. The bulk of the trial
preparation activities were done by staff from the agency which
originally investigated the case but there are often many other tasks
which need to be done to successfully prosecute the case. These tasks
ranged from interviewing witnesses, serving court documents, collecting
additional evidence, and many other tasks. Major crime cases including
homicides are often cases which require additional trial preparation
work by all law enforcement agencies involved in the case including the
DA's Office.
Conducting interviews using the investigative tool known as the
Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) may also be part of the
investigative steps taken by the investigators. The use of CVSA as an
investigative tool may also be used in other investigations conducted
by DA Investigators.
