About the Criminal Investigations Division
The Criminal Investigations Division is responsible for conducting follow-up investigations of reported crimes. The division is comprised of three sections; Criminal Investigations, Special Investigations and Crime Scene Investigations.
The Criminal Investigations Section conducts follow-up investigations into specific crimes reported to the department. The section is divided into several squads which allow personnel to conduct specialized investigations. Cases are assigned for further investigation based on a case management system. Not all cases are assigned for follow up investigation. Criteria for assignment include, but are not limited to, the type and seriousness of the crime and solvability factors.
The Special Investigations Section conducts investigations into drug-related activity as well as vice-related complaints such as prostitution and gambling. Drug activity is a motivating factor in many of the crimes reported to the department. Persons involved in drug-related activity are also typically involved in other crimes, such as robbery and burglary.
The Crime Scene Investigations Section is responsible for providing forensic assistance to the Criminal Investigations Division with the collection, processing, and preservation of collected evidence from various crime scenes within Gwinnett County. The Crime Scene Investigations Section is equipped with personnel that can respond and process crime scenes ranging from stolen vehicles to complex death scenes. Crime Scene Specialists are trained in various specializations to include latent print examination, footwear and tread pattern analysis, ballistic analysis, and marijuana examinations.
Criminal Investigations personnel work a variety of hours. Generally, office hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM until 11:00 PM, except for government holidays. The Criminal Investigations Section can be reached by calling 770-513-5300.
Detectives and Sgts work a variety of days and hours so they may not always be immediately available to speak with you or return your call.
You may also e-mail us at pdcriminalinvestigations@gwinnettcounty.com and provide your name, phone number, type of case, a case number if you know it and your message.
All phone messages and e-mails will be returned on the next business day.
