An accused is not a
criminal until he/she is proved guilty, and this guilt is proved only through a
criminal investigation. Investigation of crime is a kind of science which
involves the logical arrangements of facts with the inclusion of certain
procedures such as collection of evidence, interrogations, searches, and
interviews. It takes years to master this as a profession; Adam
Quirk has gained knowledge and experience in this
for more than 15 years.
He is, in fact, educated
in the subject of criminal investigation and holds a masters degree in it from
Boston University. His career began as a special investigator for the U.S. Investigation
Services, Inc. He has played a highly responsible role post he September 11
attacks by conducting in depth investigations on the potential Air Marshals who
would be recruited for the complete protection of the country thereafter.
His exceptional
contribution to the cause consistently earned him recognition as the Top
Investigator; it was because of Adam Quirk and his team of
investigators that several rightly eligible Air Marshals were recruited to protect
America from any terrorist attacks in the future. After this Adam assumed the
position of a Diversion Investigator for the Drug Enforcement Administration in
2004 where he headed numerous long term investigations pertaining to drugs.
As mentioned earlier the
conventional procedures of any criminal investigation at present are being
replaced with greater technologically advancements procedures which is
collectively known as ‘Forensic Science’. There are both government and private
investigators who are employed to investigate in detail into any crime
committed. According to law, in any criminal case both the accuser as well as
the accused has the right to produce evidences to prove their point, and it is
this that both the parties should know how to use wisely.
A criminal investigation
has several stages which is initiated by the filing of a complaint that a
certain crime has taken place, following which there is a minor assessment and
verification of the authenticity of the complaint. Once it has been established
that the crime has taken place in reality, it is then that wither a police man
or a private or government investigator is hired to look deeper into the matter
and help solve the matter as soon as possible. Depending on the gravity of the
crime the Federal Bureau of investigation i.e. the FBI is given responsibility
of investigating the crime.
The advancement of
science and technology has brought about a lot of change in the roles of the
investigators too; they are not just limited to forensic science anymore,
instead they required to have knowledge of illegal activities such as, cyber
crime, human trafficking, internet stalking, child pornography and exploitation
of women and children in any form.
The organizational
structure of the criminal investigation departments has also had a major
revision due to these newly developed unlawful and unethical acts. Unlike the
past when investigators were directly hired to look into a case, now the
smaller units of law enforcement hire investigators to help unveil the truth of
a certain committed crime.
