Major Crimes Team
The Major Crimes Team consists of 14 detectives and 7 detective supervisors from police agencies throughout Washington County. The district attorney and two senior deputy district attorneys oversee the team and their investigations.
The team's function is to investigate murders, officer involved shootings, in-custody deaths and other major crime occurring within Washington County, that the district attorney deems necessary. The goals of the team are to:
- Maintain a roster of advanced detectives capable of responding to and effectively investigating major homicides and other complex criminal cases.
- Respond in appropriate numbers to facilitate these investigations.
- Provide smaller agencies the personnel and resources that they would not necessarily have for complex investigations.
- Provide advanced training and information sharing to its members through monthly team meetings.
