To be a trustworthy person means that people can rely on you. They can trust that you will be truthful, honest, and someone who honors their word. As an investigator, people must be able to lean on you. Talk about your level of trustworthiness and give an example of how you exude this in the workplace.

"I take pride in being considered trustworthy and reliable. As a criminal investigator, I hold a lot of sensitive information that must remain confidential. I show my trustworthiness by never breaching this confidentiality. My coworkers can count on me to deliver accurate information, be on time, and answer their calls for help when needed."

Focus on giving examples of your trustworthiness. Describe how your coworkers can rely on you, how you keep your word, and how you are honest in everything you do. You want the interviewer to see that they can trust you with confidential information and be honest as a criminal investigator if hired.

You want to avoid saying that you are not a trustworthy or honest person for obvious reasons. If you do not feel that you are honest and trustworthy, the interviewer will pass you over for a candidate who possesses those qualities.
