Detective Resume Cover Letter

A sample cover letter for detective job.

Some with the aim of serving the people, or with an interest of dealing with crime and criminals, enter the field of defense, security, etc.; however, there are some who are interested in the other aspects of such services, something that gives them freedom of working independently and deal with different cases, criminals, etc. One such field is the field of 'detectives'. Detectives are people who work for some detective agency, or even independently for that matter, and rake up various cases. The main role of a detective is usually to stop something that is wrong by proving someone guilty of the forthcoming wrong actions. They work either to find out who is involved in a crime, who is about to do something wrong, or who is the mastermind of some activity. They are also known as private detectives. Prior to working as an independent detective, the person has to work with some detective agency, and thus will need a resume and detective resume cover letter, to put forth his/her resume more effectively.

This field is not gender biased or age biased. A person, who is physically fit, has complete knowledge of various crimes, criminals, an inherent power of understanding the facts and evidences, and some knowledge of the various laws, are eligible for this position. Some of the basic duties of a detective are as follows:

  • Never put forth his/her original identity when solving a case
  • Should be ready to work 24X7
  • Should be ready to travel far and wide behind the accused
  • Good at getting impactful evidences that help strengthen the case
  • Good at photography and various technologies related to evidence testing
  • Should have considerable knowledge of the various forensic department activities

Dear Mr. Xaviers,

I am James Rodriguez and this is with reference to the advertisement placed in Today News, dated December 26, 2011 for the post of a senior detective with Aim Detectives. I wish to present my candidature for the same, and have enclosed my resume along with this letter.

The advertisement read that you need a detective with 1-2 years of experience, who has dealt with cases of forgery, fraud, extra-marital affairs, etc. Your requirement is basically against the domestic crimes, and I am glad to say that in my total work tenure of 1.5 years I have worked with Detective Lobo, on all these cases. We have handled some of the most high profile clients like business tycoon Michael King's property will fraud case, which got high media coverage. I have a very good understanding of forensics, crime laws, and always go a step ahead to solve any case.

I thus, believe that I am now eligible to work as a senior detective, and am capable of handling cases independently.

Please go through the resume enclosed herewith, and feel free to call me for an interview.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards,

James Rodriguez

Re: Sr. Detective Mark Bonds

Dear Mr. Xaviers,

I am James Rodriguez, and as per the information provided by Mark Bonds, I came to know about a vacant position for a Jr. Detective with your esteemed ad agency. I am a fresher, and have recently completed a course in Crime Investigation Science, from Prime Forensic Education.

I have a flair for this field and am always ready to take any kind of risk, work in any atmosphere, location, get up, etc., to find the actual reason of the crime, the accused, and to stop any crime from taking place.

Working with your agency, I would get a chance to take my passion for this field to a higher level, work with the best detectives, and work on the most complicated cases that your agency is known for.

I have enclosed my resume herewith. I request you to take any decision, only after meeting me in person for an interview. I thus, await your call eagerly.

Thank you
