Most people may wonder what happens to a crime once
it has been reported. After a deputy writes a report about an
incident, the report is sent to records, where it is entered into
the computer system, and to the Detective Division. The Detective
Division will then review each report and prioritize them based on
the amount of solvability factors that are present, especially
serious crimes. Once the screening process is complete, the cases
are then assigned to Detectives who conduct follow up
investigations.
Criminal investigations are currently handled by several detectives who provide a wide
spectrum of investigative services including criminal
investigations, crimes against children,
victims advocacy, and crime analysis. Detectives are on call 24
hours a day, seven days a week, on a rotation basis, to respond to
emergency investigative needs but are normally available Monday
through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to provide assistance
where needed.
