investigation team (personal relationships)


Explanation:
鑑取り班以外の捜査班が文書に出てこないなら、investigation team だけでも十分かもしれませんが、出てくるなら、personal relationships を加えて、他の班と区別すれば良いと思います。文中なら the team investigating his/her personal relationships と表現しても良いでしょう。

neutral  Marc Brunet: From a police angle (as opposed to that of a private detective, investigating personal relationships), how about "[...] (personal network)"?

  -> I chose "relationships" just in case what they investigate is not necessarily a network (interconnected relationships) but multiple sets of bilateral relationships.
