SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR DEPARTMENT OF LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY

Law and Public Safety is the department the Attorney General runs, and investigative work inside it is spread across the Division of Criminal Justice, Consumer Affairs, Alcoholic Beverage Control and the gaming and racing regulators. A special investigator works cases for one of those units rather than for the department at large.

The Criminal Justice Act leaves the hiring of investigative staff to the Attorney General, and the title is carried unclassified. There is no examination, no eligible list, and nothing published that would say which unit a given code belongs to.

What the official title list records

Class of service: Unclassified
Work week: No Limit
Salary code: X98 — A 9x code is a special or flat rate set outside the step schedules, so no range is published.
