Police Department - Investigations

The Hurst Police Investigations Division is staffed by fifteen employees divided among three sections. These sections are Criminal Investigations, Youth Services, and Special Investigations. All crimes reported after the fact are assigned to a Detective based on the Detective’s areas of expertise, primary case assignments, and workload. The Detectives investigate each case based on a priority level that is determined by certain solvability factors. These factors include the class of crime, the threat of violence associated with the crime, the number of witnesses, whether or not the suspect has been identified and the ease with which he can be identified, the availability of evidence, and so forth. Once assigned, the case is investigated by the Detective until it is closed by arrest or exceptional means, unfounded, or inactivated due to lack of leads.
