Investigations Division

The Investigations Division is tasked with following up on all reported crimes, working with victims of crime, initiating new criminal investigations, forensics, coordinating with other agencies, overseeing juvenile investigations, and the collection and safekeeping of evidence. The Investigations Division is one of the most diverse units within our agency.

Under the command of Captain James Turner, this division investigates all crimes and suspicious activity reported to our office. After the initial report by patrol deputies and any follow up investigation done at that time, the case is turned over to investigators to continue working the case to bring it to a close. Ranging from cases as simple as vandalism to a mailbox to higher priority cases such as violent crimes, arsons, and identity theft, the men and women of this division work it all.

Also in this division are the crime scene forensic technicians and the evidence custodian. These investigators are responsible for the processing of crime scenes for evidence, photographing the scenes, collecting and logging the evidence collected, and then processing the evidence in house or forwarding it to SLED or the FBI. They are also responsible for maintaining the chain of custody of all evidence and preserving it for court.

The Investigations Division is made up of Criminal Investigations, White Collar Investigations, Juvenile Investigations, Forensics, and Evidence.
