The three tools of criminal investigation is what we call the 3 I's, Information, Interview or Interrogation
and Instrumentation. Information is the data gathered by an investigator from other persons including
the victim himself and from public records, private records, and Modus Operandi file. The skillful
questioning of witnesses and suspects is known as an interview or interrogation. And lastly,
instrumentation, it is the scientific examination of real evidence, application of instrument and methods
of the physical sciences in detecting crime.

2. Is the tool of investigation important in tracing criminal offenders? Please elaborate your answer.

A criminal investigation is a dynamic concept, and as a result, its procedures and tools evolve over time.
The three tools that are used in every criminal investigation, regardless of concept dynamism. Three
main core tools of a criminal investigation include gathering information to facilitate evidence collecting,
interviewing witnesses, and interrogating potential suspects. To be a good investigator, every
investigator must excel in these talents since a lack of these skills directly influences the conflict
between investigator and perpetrator, resulting in the perpetrator fleeing from the investigator's hands.
