Criminal Investigations Division:

The Crisp County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is under the command of Lieutenant Teresa Miller. Our CID is committed to the investigation of all criminal activity. CID investigates property crimes, assaults, fraud cases, homicides, sex crimes, and any other crime covered by Georgia Statutes. CID is also tasked with registering and verifying sex offenders in Crisp County.
Incident reports are reviewed and cases requiring follow-up are assigned to an Investigator. The Investigator will then contact the crime victim and conduct the appropriate follow-up investigation. Crisp County Sheriff’s Office CID works with all local, state, and federal agencies using every available resource to solve a crime.
