Investigators

The District Attorney's office has appointed a highly trained and experienced staff of investigators who work closely with prosecutors in the District Attorney's office as well as the 11 law enforcement agencies in Rensselaer County. The Investigative Unit is staffed by a Senior Investigator and two Investigators. Members of this unit are police officers with full arrest authority, vested under Article 1.20 of the New York State Criminal Procedure Law and are registered with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
