Crimes Against Persons

Overview

The Crimes Against Persons Unit investigates crimes such as aggravated child molestation, child molestation, cruelty to children, child death, rape, statutory rape, runaway/missing juveniles, all physical assaults including domestic violence, threats, phone harassment, missing persons, stalking, rapes, murders, death investigations and child exploitation/computer related crimes. The majority of cases investigated by the Persons Unit are felonies.  Many of these crimes are some of the most sensitive cases investigated by law enforcement.  

The cases investigated by the Crimes Against Person’s Unit are extremely time consuming to investigate and to prosecute.  In most sex crime, child cruelty, death investigation, assaults, and murder cases, numerous interviews and crime scene searches must be conducted. Search warrants, court orders, neighborhood canvass, and other investigative processes may be necessary depending on each individual case.
