What do you call a person that investigates a crime?

Answer 1

Usually the case ends up with Detectives. Initially it may be the police officer (s) or constable (s) who receives the call to the scene then, if its a heavy matter, he/they may call in the D's. Following this it could the "Scientific" (CSI) guys and a whole heap of other guys may jump on the case...e.g. fingerprints folk (if they are separate from Scientific or CSI) then maybe firearms guys and many other sections including police intelligence services, or, as in some parts of the world, Special branches. Mainly initially its the Detectives.
