Investigations Section

Responsibilities

Lieutenant Glen Ternes is the commander, and the investigator supervisors are Sergeants Loren Grensteiner and Scott Betz. Each supervisor has a group of investigators under their direction who are generally assigned a portfolio of cases in one of three areas: personal, property crimes, and domestic violence cases.

The Criminal Investigations Section is primarily responsible for conducting investigations of felony and lengthy non-traffic criminal cases. Investigators primarily work 8:00 am to 4:00 pm with the exception of two investigators work 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm and one of the those investigators is on call from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am Monday through Sunday.  Employees assigned to the section average over 10 years of police experience. At any given time there are more than 350 open criminal cases within the section.

The Investigations Section also has three officers who work in the Warrants Section, taking care of court security, serving warrants and subpoenas,  conducting prisoner transports and conducting sex offender checks.
