• ATF / US Border Patrol / State Crime Lab
• A job you’ll love going to - no one day is the same
• Company-provided surveillance vehicle

What a day in the life of an investigator looks like:

• Detailed report writing on the activities observed/captured and submission of video evidence
• Activity varies from filming someone at a grocery story to filming them at a sports game
• Crafting pre-surveillance strategies based on the setup location and case details
• Regular communication with team leader on setup positions, activity and tactics
