Investigations
Detectives are called out to investigate major crimes that are reported to the Sheriff’s Office. They are specially trained to conduct initial and follow-up investigations and have the knowledge, skills, training, and experience to process crime scenes, collect and preserve evidence of a crime, and prepare cases for court. The Evidence Section catalogs and stores evidence for safekeeping and court proceedings. Narcotics agents are trained in case management, undercover, informant control, surveillance, and other related investigative techniques. The Crime Analysis Section collects and analyzes raw data from police reports in order to identify areas of the parish which may need special patrols or may benefit from crime-prevention techniques.
