Investigative Division

 

The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office Investigative Division is a multi-task-oriented unit of highly trained and experienced criminal investigators. The Division is led by Sylvester Denmond, Chief of Detectives. Detective Denmond has worked in Law Enforcement twenty-three years and previously served as the President of the Louisiana Narcotics Association. In addition to Sylvester Denmond, the division is staffed by Detective Doug Cooley, Detective Toree Simmons, Detective Clyde Kellogg, Detective Tiffany Maks, Detective Derek Smith, Detective Travis Thompson, Detective Kassi Hagen, Detective Christopher Rabb and Detective Dakota Cryer.

The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office Investigative Division is tasked primarily with the investigation of Felony offenses such as Burglaries, Violent Offenses, Sexual Assaults, offenses against children, as well as investigations that require specialized training.

In most cases, a citizen files an initial complaint with the Patrol Division. After the initial investigation has been completed by the Patrol Division, the case is referred to the Investigative Division, where it is then assigned to a detective for continued investigation and/or follow-up.

Within the Investigative Division, deputies receive specialized training in an effort to provide complete and fair investigations into serious offenses. It is the goal of the Investigative Division to conduct investigations that strive for excellence and professionalism; and to provide compassion and understanding while diligently working for the citizens in their time of need.

The Investigative Division oftentimes works in cooperation with other agencies, both within the parish and outside the parish, in efforts to solve crimes. Many times, offenders who are committing offenses within Beauregard Parish are also committing other crimes in neighboring jurisdictions.

Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office Investigators also take pride in a strong working relationship with the Thirty-Sixth Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Investigators go to great lengths to provide complete and thorough investigations to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution, and to assist the District Attorney’s Office until all aspects of the investigation have been resolved.
