Book excerpt: This research project was designed to provide the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and the various district attorneys' offices with a comprehensive job analysis data base for the position of inspector/investigator of a district attorney's office. This data base describes the entry-level position and will be used to improve the job-relatedness of POST-required training. The job analysis was conducted by means of job analysis questionnaires comprised of task statements. Three hundred twenty-nine (329) entry-level D.A. inspectors and investigators and one hundred four (104) supervisors of D.A. inspectors and investigators representing 40 of the 53 district attorneys' offices in California completed the questionnaires. Both frequency information (how often the tasks are performed) and importance information were collected on 573 task statements. The results show that the D.A. inspector/investigator job is comprised of 259 "core" tasks which have statewide applicability. A comparison of these tasks with the "core" tasks performed by patrol officers indicates that there are both significant similarities and significant differences in the two jobs. These findings will be used in the development of appropriate training for D.A. inspectors and investigators.
