Detective

The Detective is a member of the Police, a public service organization whose leader, Agent Smith, has a vast amount of resources to be used in the important duty of keeping the town safe and free of pesky criminals, not to mention bloodthirsty monsters. They are the informed Innocents, 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.

Attributes

Attribute	Trigger Condition	Description
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.
Police channel (p MESSAGE)	Permanent	Detectives can use this channel to talk exclusively with other detectives. Failed Werewolf attacks are also reported to this channel.

Strategies

The I in CSI

The pro detectives use 3 different methods in order to decide who to investigate. Pick the silent guy or the talkative guy, an educated guess or gut feeling and alphabetical/reverse alphabetical or number of characters in a players name.
