This piece of academic work analyses investigative collaboration as an a viable resolution in conducting investigation into cases of complex nature that a single government institution cannot investigate on its own; pooling resources into investigating a case of a great national interest; restoring public trust in investigative institutions so that individuals do not take the law into their hands in stances where the public feels that the state has failed to protect them from criminals, as well as uncovering, preserving, and collecting evidence on first hand criminal cases. Further, the paper defines the concept of investigation, cites examples of investigative institutions in Uganda and their roles, explains tools used in collaborative investigation and points out instances of collaborative. Also, the paper discusses the challenges of collaborative investigation and reference is made to current issues in criminal. Last but not least, the paper draws relevant conclusions and makes recommendations.
