This may vary from agency to agency. Most are sworn personnel. Some actually did work the road at some point in their career.

Do all carry weapons? No.

Do they do interviews of suspects and witnesses, usually not.

Some are hired right out of college and never do "patrol duties". This is becoming more common and the job has become more specialized with increased training.

Most of what you see on television is a composite of several people, the forensics expert, blood expert, fingerprint expert, DNA expert, handwriting expert, medical examiner, photographer, evidence collection, the detective,.......well the list goes on. No one person does all you see.

It depends on what you mean by "joining the police force." In many police departments, crime scene investigators (CSI's) are detectives, who naturally are part of the police force. In some PD's they are technicians who are not sworn officers.

no The above answer is not complete. In most police departments you do have to be a patrol officer prior to becoming a detective. Private detectives are not police officers.

It depends on what you mean. Generally speaking, a CSI is a police officer. However, it is possible for a CSI to get overtime as a patrol officer, if the department he works for allows it.
