Criminal Investigations Unit (CID)

This Division includes the Criminal Investigations Unit, Evidence and Crime Scene Investigations Unit and the Drug Task Force Unit.

Criminal Investigations Unit

The CID Unit has not only the responsibility and task to investigate assigned felony cases to include murder, rape, robbery, fraud, and burglaries, but also the unusual or unique situation or crime, to include accidental deaths, plane crashes, etc.  Associations with ROCIC – Regional Organized Crime Information Center and the Florida Intelligence Unit enables Levy County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit to be up to date at the cutting edge of criminal activity in the State of Florida and Levy County.

Crime Scene Investigations and Evidence Unit

The primary responsibility of this unit is to respond to a full range of crimes and process each crime scene in order to locate and preserve evidence using their special knowledge and skills to complete a detailed report in an effort to assist law enforcement in obtaining probable cause for the arrest of suspects, and assist prosecutors in presenting evidence that could aid in obtaining a conviction at trial. The deputies in this unit have advanced training in the most current scientific and practical crime scene applications of evidence collection and crime scene techniques.

Drug Task Force (DTF) Unit

The mission of the members of this Unit is to contribute 100% of their time to the investigations of narcotics within Levy County. These investigators work closely with other divisions of the Levy County Sheriff’s Office and surrounding jurisdictions to maintain the latest intelligence information in order to prevent, control, and reduce the manufacturing, importation, and distribution of controlled substance within Levy County. The most effective weapon this Unit has is the information received from the “concerned citizens” of our County.
