When we are asked to participate in the filming of any facet of our on-duty work, there are some guidelines that must be followed.

Our primary obligation is to our investigative effort and keeping that in mind we will attempt to facilitate the needs of any private film crew that has been authorized to be present.

  1. Film crews can only respond to murder cases in the Sheriff’s jurisdiction, no Deputy Involved Shooting (DIS) or outside agency cases.
  2. Film crews cannot go onto private property without the owner’s permission.  (The fact that the occupant is deceased does not mean permission to enter as implied).
  3. Interviews may not be recorded on video or audio by film crews.
  4. The film crews may film and record the actions of investigators only with their permission and may be asked not to record certain aspects of the investigation.

Should a question arise, contact the on-duty Team Lieutenant or the Operations Lieutenant.
