Major Crimes
Investigators are responsible for the investigation of crimes which include,
Murder, Robbery, Rape, Burglary, and Grand Larceny to name a few.
Investigators are also responsible for processing crime scenes, collection
of evidence, arrest of suspects, and presentation of cases to the
Commonwealth’s Attorney for prosecution. At this time one of the seven
investigators in Major Crimes attended the Virginia State Forensic Academy

scenes. All investigators in the Major Crime Unit perform other collateral
duties such as: Crime Line coordinator, pawnshop detail, crime analysis, and
technical operations (i.e. Video surveillance, video imaging etc.). An
