Investigations Division

The Investigations Division supports community safety by investigating felony criminal activity, handling complex investigations and gathering intelligence on a wide variety of major crimes. Cases originate from community reports and referrals from other law enforcement agencies.

Detectives are routinely called upon to assist with investigations throughout Washington County and to partner with the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and county law enforcement partners. Personnel assigned to this division specialize in the fields of investigating, interviewing and warrant preparation.

The Investigations Division is made up of different units, with investigators who specialize in the type of cases where their expertise is most beneficial.
