When a crime is reported, the Beat Officer responds to the scene. Once the scene is safe, the officer will initiate an investigation. Depending on the circumstances, the officer may conduct interviews, survey the crime scene, and locate relevant evidence. After the preliminary investigation is completed, any follow-up that is needed is handled by detectives.
