Generally, aspiring detectives have to put in a few years as patrol officers on a police force. This allows them to gain practical law enforcement experience and develop the core skills that detective work requires. It is also helpful to obtain an advanced degree in criminal justice or a related field.

Good day, although this isn't my current career, it is part of my past one prior to healthcare.
There are different types of detectives. There are private detectives who work self-employed (or for an agency/corporation). There are detectives who work for local, federal, or international law enforcement agencies. These are amongst the most familiar detectives as seen in movies or television programs. Local police detectives are usually police officers who studied, progressed, applied and were promoted into the position of detective. A detective is a different job than a regular police officer, as they are assigned to special departments or criminal cases to investigate people, environments, and other resources in order to gather and examine information, evidence, and data necessary to solve crimes or criminal cases.

You can start by figuring the answer to this question on your own.
But seriously, researching is a big part of any investigatory work. This is true in law enforcement, and business. No one is expected to have the answers, instead the mark of a good investigator is know what questions to ask and where to resource to find the answers.
For a career in law enforcement and becoming a Detective by trade, you will need to start with admittence into an academy, and plot a course there.
But just about in all careers, being an investigator is often a big part of their job.
