Detective

Investigate. Solve. Make an Impact.

As a Detective with the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, you will play a critical role in solving crimes, bringing offenders to justice, and supporting victims during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Detectives handle a wide range of complex investigations, including major crimes, property offenses, child abuse, narcotics, trafficking, and juvenile-related cases. From the first response to final case resolution, you will lead both preliminary and follow-up investigations with precision and professionalism.

In this role, you will:

• Interview victims, witnesses, and suspects.
• Identify, collect, and preserve physical evidence.
• Apply modern investigative techniques to build strong cases.
• Prepare detailed reports and present findings in court.

This position offers a high level of responsibility and autonomy, requiring sound judgment, critical thinking, and strong initiative. You'll engage regularly with the public, demonstrating tact, confidence, and decisiveness in sensitive situations.

While you'll operate with independence, you'll also have the guidance and support of experienced leadership, working under the supervision of a Detective Sergeant or Detective Lieutenant who is committed to your success and professional growth.

If you're ready to take on complex challenges, think strategically, and make a lasting difference in your community, this is your opportunity to step forward.
