The work

The work

The tasks come from O*NET (United States) and ESCO (Europe), the world's two occupation databases. How the work is done can differ in Uganda; our team adds the local way where it does.

  1. 1

    Prepare reports that detail investigation findings.

  2. 2

    Obtain and verify evidence by interviewing and observing suspects and witnesses or by analysing records.

  3. 3

    Preserve, process, and analyse items of evidence obtained from crime scenes and suspects, placing them in proper containers and destroying evidence no longer needed.
