The Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) at the Montana Department of Justice is involved in many aspects of Montana law enforcement and is integral to the Department of Justice’s mission of promoting public safety.
In most investigations conducted by DCI agents, city, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies with primary jurisdiction in a case must request the assistance of DCI to mobilize resources.
