BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation is committed to providing quality and responsive investigative services to prosecutors, our community, and all those serving throughout the criminal justice system.

The bureau is composed of sworn peace officers, investigative technicians, trial prep coordinators, witness coordinators and other professional staff. These staff members are assigned to five district attorney facilities providing services that cover over 20,000 square miles.

The average district attorney investigator hired by the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office has fifteen years of law enforcement experience. Typically our investigators have served with a police or sheriff’s department a minimum of three years as a detective before transitioning to a position as a district attorney investigator.

We actively recruit highly talented investigators who have great law enforcement reputations. Our mission of pursuing justice demands that our standards are high.

Our investigators and staff members are assigned to investigate all types of criminal conduct. Our staff members assist prosecutors in preparing and organizing cases for court, including locating missing witnesses and organizing evidence for presentation at trial.
