field investigator

On-site evidence gatherer

A field investigator is someone who gathers information by going to locations rather than working from an office.

Insurance companies send field investigators to verify claims.

Private detectives, social workers, and law enforcement agencies employ them to interview witnesses, inspect sites, and collect evidence firsthand: The field investigator visited the accident scene to photograph the damage.
