As a primary function of the Jacksonville
Police Investigative Division, we aim to promptly, effectively
and efficiently investigate all criminal offenses which occur
within City of Jacksonville and the police jurisdiction. To identify and
apprehend individuals committing those crimes, and then
properly/legally charge, collect and present that evidence to a court
of law.
Investigators are
available twenty-four hours a day to support patrol officers and to
personally respond to all major crime scenes. Investigators also
perform such duties as surveillance of individuals and places,
intelligence gathering, undercover operations and other specialized
activities. The Investigations Division has the responsibility of handling those
criminal investigations which require special expertise, or which
because of their complexity or geographical considerations do not
lend themselves readily to completion by Patrol Officers.
Jacksonville Police
Department Investigators works closely with the Alabama Bureau of
Investigation, the FBI and other city, county, state, and federal law
enforcement agencies. To accomplish this task, investigators' must maintain a
network with other agencies to share information, intelligence and
resources.
Much of the information we share is developed from tips from
citizens like you. If you have witnessed a crime, or would like to
report suspicious or criminal activity in your neighborhood you can
call the Jacksonville Police Department twenty four hours a day, or email that information to
the investigators with as much detailed information as you have. You may choose not
to give your name and telephone number or you may request that your
name and telephone number remain confidential. Please note that all
information will be held confidential in all manners unless ordered
by the court. Please keep in mind
that we may not be as successful handling an incident if we can not
contact you to get additional information.
The support and assistance of the public can be invaluable to
police in preventing and solving crimes. If you have information
about criminal activity or a case under investigation, the
Jacksonville Police Department would very much like to hear from
you. You do not have to give your name or otherwise identify
yourself if you do not want to do so. There are three ways you can
