He is the informed Innocent, and should try to lead the actions of the members of their faction in a way that results in the triumph of the Innocents against evil.

Since the latest update the Detective has become a lone ranger of sorts, however he has gained to ability to produce deputies. For more information go toWhat's new in Mafia 4.0?

Description
Appoint Deputy

(!appoint NICKNAME)

Night round In addition to his nightly investigation, the detective can now appoint any player in the game as his deputy (and there is no limit to his amount of deputies). While a deputy can not !investigate, !arrest or !deputy, he can lead a bomb squad, talk on the detective channel, view results and can be used as the new public figure for the innocents.
Investigation vote

(!investigate NICKNAME)

Night round Casts a vote for the target of a night's investigation. An investigation will usually (save for a small chance of failure) let the Detectives know the occupation of a player. The Village Idiot and Oracle are immune to investigation. This ability can be blocked by the Prostitute, and if there are no effective votes, no investigation will occur.
Arrest vote

(!arrest NICKNAME)

Night round Casts a vote for the target of the next morning's arrest. The police can either investigate or arrest, not both, and the course of action taken is determined by the amount of votes of each type. An arrested player will not be able to use his skills or vote in the Day Round execution for one full day, after which one of the following things will happen:
  • If the arrested person was a Terrorist, he will commit suicide in jail. This may trigger any bombs he may have planted before.
  • If the arrested person was an Innocent, he will go free, but a scandal may occur, resulting in the public release of the name of a Detective, who may subsequently be personally targeted by the Mafia Don.
  • Otherwise, the arrested person will go free, but his faction (allegiance) is revealed in public.

This ability can be blocked by the Prostitute, and if there are no effective votes, no arrest will occur.

Bomb Squad intervention

(!bombsquad NICKNAME)

Night round Causes a Detective to abandon that night's investigation team and personally lead a Bomb Squad to a player's house, in order to professionally defuse a bomb that may have been placed there by a Terrorist. If no Detectives are left to investigate or arrest, no investigation or arrest will occur. This ability can be blocked by the Prostitute.
