Frequently, Homicide Bureau investigators come into contact with private investigators who represent the interest of various parties involved in homicide and missing person investigations. It is our policy to cooperate as much as possible with these individuals in the interest of justice.
Many private investigators are retired police officers or deputy sheriffs, some of whom have been assigned to Homicide Bureau. You are reminded that your access to confidential records is not to be shared with private investigators, regardless of any previous relationship or current friendships you may share. Releasing confidential information is a criminal offense and will not be tolerated.
Requests from private investigators for any confidential information shall be reported to a Bureau Lieutenant.
