The short form of "detective" is often "det.". However, the short form can vary depending on regional usage and context. In some locations, a detective could be referred to as an "investigator" or "inspector", both of which are also commonly shortened to "inv." or "insp." respectively. As with most abbreviations, the most important thing is clarity of communication - so ensure the context makes it clear what the shortened term is referring to.
