The Grand Junction Police Department Investigations Unit is comprised of one commander, two sergeants, 11 detectives, an intel officer, and one marijuana compliance officer who started their law enforcement careers in Patrol and were then assigned to Investigations based upon their knowledge, experience, and investigative ability. This unit also consists of two crime analysts and four civilian investigators who perform a variety of priority tasks, such as follow-up on missing persons and runaways, as well as, registered sex offender management.
Investigations has two primary units, Crimes Against Persons and Crimes Against Property. When a call for service is generated through dispatch, a patrol officer is typically the first point of contact. Once an initial report is generated, all cases involving potential felony charges are reviewed by the Investigations sergeants and then assigned to a detective for follow-up.
