Investigations
The Investigations Division conducts criminal investigations beyond the scope of the ordinary field investigations performed by patrol officers. The natures of these investigations are typically complex.
The Investigations Division of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office investigates crimes against people, property, tech-related and/or narcotics-related.
Citizen involvement is part of our division's success. Please take the steps to protect yourself from becoming a victim and report any information you may have for ongoing crimes.
