INVESTIGATIONS

"The Lyon County Sheriff’s Department rocks! [They have] one of the best [homicide] clearance records in the nation!"

The Investigations Division exists to provide support for the Patrol Division by assisting with or taking over criminal investigations that go beyond the investigative capabilities of the Patrol Division.
The Investigations Division is comprised of several teams of investigators, including the detective division, the SIU vice squad, and the K9 unit.
Additionally, the Investigations Division operates the UAV drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for crime scene photography and the search for missing persons.
All members of these investigative teams were selected for their skills and abilities, and they each possess years of specific training and experience in their respective fields of expertise.
The Investigations Division is committed to the relentless pursuit of justice for victims and their families, and all three teams regularly work together to accomplish this goal.
