Investigation Division
The Captain
Captain Danny Cornelius is responsible for the Criminal Investigation Division, which investigates all crimes in Sugar Land that are not observed by a patrol officer. In addition to CID, the division includes the Special Crimes Unit / Gang Task Force and Crime Scene Investigations.
Criminal Investigations
After the Patrol Division completes initial investigations of crimes, cases are forwarded to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). A CID supervisor initially reviews each report to determine if there are viable leads. If not, the case is closed.If there are, the case is assigned to an investigator, who will list the case as one of the following:
- Active: If the case has viable leads, such as a witness or physical evidence they are forwarded to an investigator. Active investigations can take anywhere from a few days to several years. Once an investigation is completed and there is probable cause to establish an identified suspect has committed a crime, the results of the investigation are filed with the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office for charges and dispositions.
- Unfounded: The incident reported was determined, after the investigation, as not involving a violation of the law.
- Suspended: The investigation has stopped on this case because all investigative leads have been exhausted and there is not enough evidence to file a case.
