The Investigative Unit of the Teton County Sheriff’s Office is comprised of a detective sergeant, three permanent detectives, one rotational detective and one evidence technician.

This unit is charged with the investigation of major crimes and the processing of scenes beyond the capabilities or time restraints of patrol deputies. This unit conducts interviews, interrogations, proactive crime prevention and education, crime scene processing, evidence assessment, handling and submission, forensic crime scene measuring and mapping, follow-up on criminal cases and extensive pre-employment background investigations.

The Investigative Units primary mission is to seek the truth by providing comprehensive crime scene and criminal case investigations. The Investigative Unit works closely with the Teton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to ensure safety and justice for our community.

The Investigative Unit strives to accomplish their mission by keeping itself abreast of advances in technology, best practices for crime investigation and analysis, utilizing new and creative techniques/tools and the pursuit of excellence.

This is not to say we can solve every case or that every case has a criminal component. The detectives of the Teton County Sheriff’s Office pledge to give an honest effort and prioritize cases for the best interests of our community, while providing professionalism and empathy to our customers.
