Detective

__**What is a Detective?**__ A detective is a person who investigates a crime or situation going on. While dectives are on the job, they must collect evidence to prove who's guilty or charged of something. Detectives find suspects, or people that they might think are guilty of causing the commotion or crime. Usually a detective may go undercover to get some real hard evidence that they are looking for. [1]

__** What is an example of a case a detective might be on? **__There are various answers of a case a detective might be on. One example could be if someone named John Smith is claimed of robbing a bank. Let's say the police send a detective to the bank to find evidence to prove is John is guilty of committing the crime or to prove he is innocent. Then the detective would go find suspects he or she might think did the crime. [2] **__ Why are detectives important? __** Well detectives are actually very important. Detectives gather up all the information they found at a crime scene to get down to one point. They are like mystery solvers in a way. If you are trying to accuse someone of doing a crime with no evidence found by the detectives, you don't have anything to back you up. In that case, you really can't prove somebody was guilty of a crime with no evidence. [2]

Detectives find their evidence by going to the scene of an incident and investigate to find stuff the suspect trailed behind. Detectives can also get their evidence by testing things. This is just like how we test the water of the rivers nearby the fish to see what they are contaminated with. One of the common evidence is from a witness.[1]
