Investigations

The mission of the Cameron Parish Sheriff's Office Investigation Division is to effectively, ethically and professionally investigate criminal complaints and to focus on excellence in the preparation of those cases referred to the District Attorney for prosecution. The Investigation Division has numerous duties and responsibilities, including Investigation of Serious Crimes, Welfare Fraud, Crimes against Senior Citizens, and Crimes against Children. The Investigators follow up investigations of reports taken by the Patrol Deputies and handle complaints from the public. For the most part these investigations are for felony crimes. This is everything from Thefts to Homicide. The Investigators also participate in the execution of Search Warrants and assist the Narcotics Agents whenever the Narcotics Unit request additional help on a case. Investigators also process crime scenes ranging from residential burglaries to homicides. When responding to a crime scene the investigators conduct a crime scene investigation, photograph and collect all evidence. Evidence is packaged and preserved. If requiring analysis, it is submitted to an appropriate laboratory facility. All Investigators attend training classes to keep up with changing laws, investigative techniques, forensic science development and many other topics. They also work closely with other investigators in and surrounding Parishes, The Children's Advocacy Center, and the District Attorney's Office. Our desire is to provide support to the victims of criminal acts, apprehend the offenders, and recover stolen property. We accomplish this through community involvement. Cases are generated through police reports from the public, pro-active investigations, and crime tips received from the community. All of the deputies assigned to the Investigative Division are committed to solving all cases regardless of obstacles that may confront them. Each detective is part of a team, bringing forth his/her own experience and skills for a combined effort to bring the offenders to justice. The investigators are passionate to solve the crimes for the citizens of Cameron Parish who find themselves victimized by others, and allow them a sense of closure and satisfaction. In addition, Investigators send a strong message that all offenders will be pursued and brought to justice by the Cameron Parish Sheriff's Office. A large part of the successfulness of the Investigation Division is based on the combination of good, hard police work and the citizens providing positive support to the members of the sheriff's office when called upon is one of our primary keys to success.
