Entry Level Criminal Investigator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level criminal investigator job?

Start by targeting roles that explicitly welcome zero to two years of experience or list internships as qualifying background. A degree in criminal justice, forensic science, or a related field helps, but documented fieldwork, volunteer experience with law enforcement agencies, or a completed internship can carry equal weight. Tailor your resume to highlight any case research, evidence handling, or analytical work you have done.

Which companies hire entry level criminal investigators?

Companies hiring entry level criminal investigators right now include Mangone Law Firm, Methodist University, and Finitetek, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from government agencies, insurance carriers, financial institutions, and private investigation firms that have structured onboarding programs for new professionals.

Are there remote entry level criminal investigator jobs?

Yes, though most roles in this field are on-site or field-based by nature. About 0% of entry level criminal investigator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically involve document review, background research, or fraud analysis work that does not require a physical presence at a site.

Are these new grad criminal investigator jobs?

Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior criminal investigator roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad friendly listing typically welcomes candidates with zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic projects as qualifying background, and does not require prior full-time investigative employment. Look for postings that mention training programs or mentorship as a sign they are built for early-career candidates.

Which industries hire the most entry level criminal investigators?

Entry Level criminal investigator roles concentrate in Education, Science & Research, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive early-career hiring because they handle high volumes of fraud, compliance, or regulatory cases that require investigative support and where employers are willing to develop candidates from the ground up.
