​

The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) conducts follow-up investigations on felony-level crimes reported to the Sheriff’s Office that have occurred within the county. CID investigators work a wide range of cases including, but not limited to homicides, assaults, robberies, burglaries, auto theft, sexual assaults, child abuse, and fraud/forgery cases.

​

The investigation process requires this unit to perform many tasks, including interviewing and taking statements from suspects, victims, and witnesses; photographing crime scenes; and processing latent fingerprints. When the investigation has been completed, the case is then presented to the District Attorney’s Office for criminal prosecution.

​

CID also handles Fire Investigations and conducts follow-up investigations that are referred from other agencies.
