Investigations

It is the goal of the Sheriff’s Office to provide investigative services to all customers, in order to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Hood River County.

The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office has a Detective Sergeant and two detectives.  One detective is assigned to general criminal cases and the other is assigned to MINT. (Mid- Columbia Interagency Narcotics Team).  These three detectives are responsible for investigating all major crimes in Hood River County.

In order to be assigned to a detective position a deputy has to have at least (5) years as patrol deputy. Cases assigned to the Detectives are those that require particular expertise or may require extensive or lengthy follow up, thus freeing patrol deputies for other duties. These cases include a wide range of crimes such as Assaults, Computer crimes, Elder abuse, Homicides, Sex Crimes, and Property Crimes. Other duties of the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office detectives are processing crime scenes, collecting, possessing and storage of evidence, registering sex offenders, working closely with the District Attorney’s Office to successfully prosecute crimes.
