How an officer becomes a detective and progresses in his career from there is determined by the law enforcement agency where he works. In most police and sheriff's departments, being a detective is a "rotational" assignment, meaning that uniformed officers become detectives for a period of time (typically 2-3 years) before rotating back to uniformed patrol. If the detective promotes to sergeant, he is immediately assigned to patrol as a supervisor, and then can seek to be re-assigned to detectives as a detective supervisor.
In some large agencies, detective is a permanent rank. Once that rank is achieved, the detective will spend the rest of his career as an investigator. If he promotes, he may or may not go back to uniform, as department policy dictates.
