Company Investigations Department

In 2010 under the auspices of then assistant director Martin Crowley the Company performed a trial run of a specialized investigative department of the Company that abolished the decades old "One of Us, One of Them" rule within the organization. The Investigative Department performed duties from February 2010 to May of 2010 during acting assistant-director Crowley's tenure.

When senior agent Benjamin Ryans was appointed to the position of Assistant-Director on May 21st, 2010 an act by both Director Sabra Dalton and Bob Bishop gave the investigative department an official position within the Company as a department branch, appointing Martin Crowley as administrative head and Benjamin Ryans as field lead, with agent Veronica Sawyer as assistant field lead.

In the wake of the attack on Fort Hero by Akado Ichihara and the betrayal of Albert Paulson the Company has also come under scrutiny by the United States Government, whom have appointed Desmond Harper, a member of the President's Evolved Tactical Advisory Bureau, as oversight.

Duties

The Investigative Department is a branch of the Company that responds to local, state and federal law-enforcement for criminal investigations involving Evolved individuals. They typically assist organizations such as the NYPD under the guise of the Department of Homeland Security's "Special Investigations" branch, taking control of cases where an expertise on dealing with the Evolved is necessary.

Due to administrative arrangements made in 2009, however, the Company no longer handled "Bag and Tag" operations. If any Evolved individual who would normally have qualified for a Bag and Tag is apprehended by the Company, they are turned over to operatives from a Government-sponsored research organization known as the _institute.
