The General Investigations Section is staffed by a lieutenant, two sergeants, 11 investigators, a deputy responsible for sex offender registration, and three sheriff’s services technicians.  The section handles complex cases requiring extensive, time intensive follow up or follow up outside of Larimer County.  Investigators do not typically initiate cases on their own, rather, cases are assigned by the unit sergeants and are usually referrals from LCSO patrol deputies, other law enforcement agencies, or the Department of Human Services.  On average, the section clears approximately 200 cases per year and manages approximately 300 registered sex offenders.

The Crimes Against Persons Unit is led by a sergeant and staffed with five investigators.  The cases handled by this unit generally include: physical assaults, sexual assaults, kidnappings, internet luring, and homicides.  The age of the victim does not matter as this unit investigates crimes against both children and adults.  An investigator from this unit represents the Sheriff’s Office at the local Human Trafficking Working Group and another investigator represents the Sheriff’s Office as an Internet Crimes Against Children team member.

The Crimes Against Property Unit is led by a sergeant and staffed with six investigators.  The cases handled by this unit generally include: arson, burglary, robbery, theft, and trespass cases.  An investigator from this unit represents the Sheriff’s Office at the Regional Auto Theft Task Force and another represents the Sheriff’s Office at the Northern Colorado Financial Crimes Task Force.
