There is nothing preventing you from doing your own investigation, as long as you do not give anyone the impression you are an officer, or break any other laws in the process.
However, law enforcement officers receive training in this area, and are normally given more credibility by the court. You will not have this consideration, and will be given equal credibility at best.
