General Assignments in the Niagara Regional Police Service Detective Office entail conducting follow-up investigations to thefts, robberies, assaults, and indecent acts.  Members of the Detective Office carry out all Attempt Murder investigations, suspicious death occurrences, and conduct weapon offences investigations.  They also assist in Missing Person searches by interviewing and co-ordinating canvasses.  When cases involve barricaded persons or hostage situations, Detectives assist in these situations and carry out subsequent investigations.
