Police Investigations Unit
The investigation unit is directed by
Lt. Flo Simon. The unit has two divisions:
- Major Crimes - non-domestic violence homicide, Felony Assaults,
Burglary, Felony Theft, Forgery, Arson, Fraud, and other Felonies. This
unit has five detectives that report to Sgt. Ken Brown.
- Family Crimes - Domestic Violence Homicide, All Domestic Violence
Issues, Sex Crimes, Child Abuse, Elder Abuse, Missing Persons, and
Juvenile Runaways. This unit has four detectives that report to Sgt. Tim
Lintz.
Detectives get initial crime reports from the patrol officer that
responded. They are then responsible for any follow up that may be needed. If
the crime reported is a misdemeanor, generally the patrol officer is the
primary follow up person. The Special Investigation Unit focuses on drug
related crimes and gang activity.
