Investigators work closely with the Tioga County District Attorney's Office during the prosecution phase of their assigned cases. This requires Investigators to give related testimony in court for Evidentiary Hearings, Grand Jury Proceedings, as well as Criminal and Civil Jury Trials. Additionally, Investigators assist other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies with criminal investigations in Tioga County.
