Welcome to the Assault Section webpage.  The Section is made up of three Detectives and one Sergeant.  Detectives assigned to this Section are responsible for investigating felony and misdemeanor assaults, domestic violence incidents, annoying phone calls and restraining order violations. Although capable of investigating any crime, Assault Detectives focus on developing expertise in their respective are of assignment.  Specialized experience and training are instrumental toward solving many cases, and the detectives have a close working partnership with the local District Attorney’s Office to successfully prosecute criminals.

Being the victim of a crime is unsetting enough, but being victimized physically can be even more traumatic.  In addition to capitalizing on their investigative skills, Assault Detectives must be empathetic toward the victim’s needs.  As an example, the investigators who are assigned to domestic violence cases work closely with victim advocacy groups to assist the victim obtain available outside resources.

If you have filed a police report and are calling to inquire about a case, please have your report number available. This number is referred to as a “DR number”, and begins with the last two numbers of the year that the report was made followed by four to seven numbers (e.g., 07-0001).  This information will assist the staff in determining current status of your case, and the name of the assigned investigator.
