Do investigators/detectives work in pairs? Can they choose their partner? Or is it a higher up that chooses? Can they ask to stop pairing up with said person?

Yes, detectives often work in pairs. Two are often able to work together better than one. If two people don't work well together, it's in everyone's best interest for them to stop working together.

They definitely do work in pairs typically, but the way that Hollywood portrays it is not always the case. Hollywood always shows detective pairs as having this amazing friendship build over the course of the investigation and I think that is exaggerated quite a bit.

That's what I'm thinking. There's no way every pair can be BFFs, haha

For my agency, it depends on the case and where you’re at in the case. You may grab someone or a preferred buddy for subject or witness interviews or other tasks. For big surveillance or warrant operations, you ask for volunteers as needed. You may work a case with another agency, find you work well with an agent/investigator with that agency, and decide to keep working cases together. Pretty much it’s up to you.

No, not necessarily. There's investigative work that only requires one office. That's just hollywood for you unless you're Jake Peralta so you definitely need an Amy Santiago. hahaha

Yes they usually work in pairs and it usually assigned although they can give their two cents about who they want to work with

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

Really looking for a way to turn around a toxic building culture with staff to staff bullying, cliques/social isolation, hard feelings on big topics (racism, non acceptance of gender identity). Last year the staff polarized with the lead bully whom I helped leave. And the lead gossip (who was my secretary) that gained their sympathy and turned them against me. She also left. Now I need to regain trust and eliminate unacceptable teacher behaviors. Open to any and all advice.

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance
