Detectives

The Detective Division of the Newport Police Department is charged to conduct follow-up investigations that involve serious crimes.  Most of the investigations revolve around person crimes such as sex abuse, serious assaults and robberies.  These crimes at times require investigations that are complex and technical in nature.  Detectives have received advanced training to include computer investigations, sex abuse investigations and blood spatter investigation, to name a few.
