Detectives
The
Detective section of the department handles the most complex
law enforcement investigations confronted by the Sheriff's
Department. From the crime of murder to large thefts, the
detective unit is responsible for investigating a myriad
of crimes.
The unit is made up of five detectives who are
assigned to investigate major crimes which occur throughout
the county and three detectives who are assigned to investigate
agricultural crimes (Rural Crime Task Force).
The Support Division is supervised by the Detective Sergeant
under the command of a Sheriff's Commander.
The
detectives have investigated many violent crimes and have
successfully been able to prosecute the criminal offenders.
Sheriff detectives focus on maintaining a positive working
relationship with the community in an attempt to protect
our citizens.
Additionally, they continue to work in concert
with many local agencies as well as State and Federal agencies
to provide the best service possible.
To catch a glimpse
of some the violent criminals the detectives are looking
for surf to the Warrants Page. There you
will see some of Kings County's Most Wanted.
