Thank you Janys. I suggest you gloss your answer as I am a bit confused whether you chose "Office" vs. "Directorate" (bearing in mind that Panama is the country of origin) and the term "Directorate" is what is evidently used in Panama. I will leave this up to you to gloss.

"direccion de investigacion judicial"
criminal investigation department


Explanation:
The best way to give it a name is to find out what it does and then find out the name in EN and translate. It sounds like investigating criminal offenses. But perhaps it's some other kind of inv. You should find out what they do.

I was an interpreter in the US courts for years, and I can assure you there is no logic whatsoever in the translation of the names of official institutions and offices and authorities. It is totally arbitrary. You must find out the name in the other language of the office that does that sort of thing.
