The Investigative Division of the Delaware State Fire Commission utilizes sworn constables which are law enforcement officers to assist in carrying out their official duties. The investigators work directly for the fire commission and are responsible for enforcing all regulations that are under their control. Responsibilities include, but not limited to, regulating all ambulances that are certified by the Commission to operate within the State of Delaware. The Investigative Division is responsible for issuing permits to operate along with conducting annual and spot inspections to assure the ambulances are operating within regulations.

The Investigative Division is also charged with investigating all complaints related to EMT personnel who are licensed in Delaware. The investigators are responsible for completing a thorough investigation which will be turned over to the State Medical Director for review and recommendations. The recommendations may include, suspension, revocation of their license or be placed on probation. In these instances, the licensee may request a hearing before the Commission. The Office of the Attorney General is tasked with prosecuting cases brought before the Commission.
