is headed by Lieutenant C. S. "Bow" Cook. The task performed
by the investigative division is tedious, demands thorough

The investigative team consists of six investigators, who do an outstanding job of gathering the necessary evidence and information to convict criminals. The Sheriff's Office also began the use of a polygraph

instrument will help investigators to more accurately determine when suspects and witnesses are being honest in the course of criminal investigations.
The Investigative Division case statistics for 2006 are as follows: |
