 The
investigations unit is comprised of two University police officers
who have been selected by the Chief of Police because of their
basic investigative skills. Once these members are selected,
they are given additional training through a program that is
supported by the local municipal police agency of the Hampton
Police Division.
The ranking member of the investigations unit assumes the additional
role of unit supervisor.
Investigators are assigned cases that require detailed inquiry that
is normally beyond the scope of the patrol officer, who is usually
the person who has taken the initial crime report. Investigators
are assigned all felony cases, such as robbery, grand larceny, burglary,
forgery and uttering, felonious assault, sexual assault, and homicide.
They are also assigned some of the more serious misdemeanors.
The goal of the unit is to vigorously pursue and prosecute all criminal
offenders to the fullest extent of the law. |
