The Detective Unit is comprised of a detective sergeant and two detectives who serve in a variety of capacities. All of our detectives have advanced college degrees and every Detective has specialized training and experience in their field of expertise.
Responsibilities:
The Detective Unit is responsible for the investigation of all major crimes, as well as any incident that requires follow-up investigation. All detectives started their careers at the Swansea Police Department as patrol officers for several years prior to their appointment to the Detective Unit.
Training and Specialization:
All of our Detectives have received extensive training in all areas of investigation, including forensic crime scene investigation techniques, death and homicide investigation, sexual assaults, domestic violence, financial and cyber-crimes, crimes against children and the elderly, burglaries, robbery, criminal mischief, thefts, and other property crimes.
Our detectives continually strive to educate themselves in the latest technological advances in fighting crime. More importantly, our detectives know they are the voice for the victims of crime, and that protecting and serving the community are our highest priorities.
