Investigators are assigned cases by an operations officer as soon as they are received. A female investigator is assigned as Juvenile Officer. She handles most juvenile calls and respond to any incidents that occur in the county elementary schools. A great amount of time is utilized investigating child abuse and sexual abuse allegations. Needless to say, their days are usually very busy.
Time goes by quickly and a lot is accomplished.
With the situation in our society as it is, we don't anticipate any layoffs in the near future. It's great to have job security. In 1996, a Federal Grant was requested for the purpose of hiring and training deputies who would be assigned on a full time basis to our local High Schools. The program has been successful. The students respect these officers and have a much better attitude toward Law Enforcement.
