The detectives perform a critical role in determining what has occurred and also in identifying the responsible person(s). This is accomplished by carefully documenting all conditions of a crime scene, recognizing all relevant physical evidence, conducting interviews and additional research. The ability to recognize and properly collect evidence is often times critical to both solving crimes and prosecuting violent criminals.

A General Investigator's function is the investigation of violent crimes and UCR Part I offenses and follow-up investigations.

All investigators are trained in Forensics, Crime Scene Processing and Crime Scene Preservation.

The Juvenile Investigator's objective is the investigation of crime which is a direct result of juvenile delinquency and the overall investigation of juvenile related crimes perpetrated by both adults and children.
