Chief Dominick Rivetti |
Staffed by over 260 investigators with full peace officer status,
the Bureau of Investigation is the fourth largest law enforcement
agency in Los Angeles County. Investigators in the Bureau conduct some
of the most unique, sensitive, and complex criminal investigations in
law enforcement today. D.A. Investigators are involved in a variety of
operations, from high-profile raids in political corruption cases to
probes in immigration fraud.
The primary function of D.A. investigators is to provide
prosecution support to the District Attorney’s legal staff. By
locating and processing prosecution witnesses and conducting
supplemental pretrial investigations, investigators strengthen cases
for prosecution.
Investigators
are assigned to each District Attorney branch location in the County
and to a variety of special units. Special units personnel work
directly with deputy district attorneys in the office’s specialized
programs to combat gangs, public corruption, organized crime, family
violence, stalking, hate crimes, consumer fraud, and other high impact
crimes.
Assisting other law enforcement agencies, when requested, is also
an important function of the Bureau of Investigation. Assistance with
vehicular and electronic surveillance and photographic services are available to other agencies.
