The Investigations Unit coordinates the on-scene investigations of major incidents. Detectives investigate crimes that require an extended time commitment, expertise, or sensitivity. Detectives also conduct follow up on some crimes initiated through patrol reports. Serious crimes may require special expertise and more lengthy investigation than uniformed patrol deputies can provide. In addition, the Sheriff's Office Investigations Unit will help other local Scott County law enforcement agencies at their crime scenes, if requested.

- Coordination and follow up of major crimes, such as homicide,robbery,sexual assault, fraud and burglary,
