Detective Bureau

The Detective Bureau is an important part of the Sheriff's Office. Deputies do not have the time to follow up on major incidents due to a heavy complaint load. Detectives are called upon to conduct follow up investigations that range from offenders who steal, to murder. The detectives work closely with the Prosecutor's Office to ensure the timely prosecution of all offenders.

The Detective Bureau are all trained and active Medical Examiner Investigators who investigate all deaths that are not under the supervision of a Medical Doctor, and are not of natural causes. The Detective Bureau works closely with the Victims Service Unit that goes to death scenes to assist the families of the deceased.

The Detective Bureau has cell phone extraction and analysis service available to assist in all criminal investigations.

The Detective Bureau handles all incoming evidence and property to be stored for criminal cases.
