BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

Bureau Mission Statement

The Imperial County District Attorney’s Office Bureau of Investigation is dedicated to the protection of our communities and serving the victims of crime in Imperial County. Our goal is to create a sense of security for our citizens through vigorous enforcement of criminal and civil laws in a just, honest, efficient, and ethical manner.

About the Bureau

  • The District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation is comprised of sworn peace officers as described in Penal Code 830.1 and civilian personnel who perform a wide variety of investigative functions.
  • The District Attorney’s investigative authority is the most comprehensive of all local law enforcement agencies. The investigative functions of the District Attorney extend far beyond the traditional support of prosecuting attorneys in hearings and trials to complex and specialized investigations not routinely handled by the detectives in traditional sheriffs and police agencies.
  • The District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigation’s primary role is to provide prosecutorial support that assists the Deputy District Attorneys in proving the criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt.  Even though all criminal cases require investigative support, staffing levels allow only a few individual cases (or in some cases particular programs augmented by grant funding) to receive extensive investigative attention based in large measure on the case’s size, potential impact, or sensitivity.
  • In addition to these duties, the Bureau of Investigation conducts officer-involved shooting investigations, protected person operations, assists in grand jury investigations, and public integrity investigations.
