Wake County Sheriff's Office
From: http://www.wakegov.com/sheriff/
The Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for the unincorporated areas of the County. Wake County
voters elect the Sheriff to four-year terms. Law enforcement is a vital role of government at nearly all levels.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
The Criminal Investigation Division is sub-divided into four primary workgroups--Administration, Drugs and Vice,
Operations, and Special Operations. These divisions investigate alleged criminal activity. Each workgroup is further
divided into specialized, well-trained and equipped units directly deployed to serve and meet citizens’ needs through
comprehensive investigative functions and community interaction.
OPERATIONS: PROPERTY CRIMES UNIT (NORTH & EAST AND SOUTH & WE ST)
Two Property Crimes Units, comprised of one Sergeant and seven investigators, investigate crimes of theft and
damage to property, residential and commercial break-ins, larcenies, and recovered stolen property.

The School Resource Officer (SRO) Unit: The SRO Program helps provides a safe atmosphere conducive for
learning in the county’s middle and high schools. The program also focuses on the safety of students, staff, and
visitors at our schools. The SROs work to decrease criminal offenses committed against persons and property and to
enhance overall safety. The School Resources Officers are highly visible on campuses but unpredictable in their
movements. We help students not only learn more about law and the Criminal Justice System, but also familiarize
students with law enforcement personnel and their functions. SROs try to establish a close working relationship
among law enforcement, students, parents and faculty. Law enforcement is their primary function, but they also teach
classes and provide students in need with counseling or recommend outside agencies for assistance.
Criminal Analysis Unit: The Criminal Analysis Unit uses the latest and most advanced software to map and
chart crimes, criminal patterns and trends. Both the Patrol and Investigations Divisions use this information to assign
projects and target areas of concern and interest.
Clerical Staff: The Clerical Staff manages telephone calls, maintains the office files and ensures the proper
dissemination of reports and related paperwork to the Offices of the Clerk of Court, District Attorney and general
public.
DETENTION
The Wake County Sheriff’s Office Detention Division manages three detention facilities, the only such facilities that
house adult detainees in Wake County. The Wake County Detention Annex and the Wake County Detention Center
are both located on Hammond Road, approximately halfway between the cities of Raleigh and Garner. The third
facility is located at the John H. Baker, Jr. Public Safety Center at 330 South Salisbury Street in downtown Raleigh.
The three facilities have a total bed capacity of 1,312. Approximately 400 full and part-time staff provides health care,
security and supervision services for the detainee population. Private vendors operate Food Services and
Commissary Services. The detention operation at the John H. Baker, Jr. Public Safety Center receives all newly
admitted detainees. In the last twelve months, the detention operation had admitted over 32,000 detainees.
Approximately 1/3 or 12,000 of these admissions bonded out almost immediately or received conditions of release
from a magistrate that permitted the detainee to leave the detention facility and spend their pre-trial period in the
community. The in-house detainee population fluctuates considerably. In the last six months, the detainee population
has fluctuated from a low of 1,123 to a high of 1,580.
Wake County Sheriff’s Office facilities have some policies that differ from most other detention facilities nationwide.
1. Inmates are not served coffee while incarcerated.
2. Inmates cannot smoke. No tobacco products are allowed inside the jail.
3. Inmates can exercise inside and outside their cells; however, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office does not
provide inmates with weights or body building facilities.
4. Sentenced inmates work in housekeeping and maintenance inside the detention facilities.
5. Each inmate is served a nutritious meal three times a day. A professional dietician approves the menu that
meets the standards set forth by the State of North Carolina. To ensure no religious edicts are compromised,
we do not serve pork.
6. Medical staff is on duty 24/7.
Sheriff’s office staff, along with Wake County officials, are currently working with architectural firms in planning a
second construction phase at the Wake County Detention Center. This phase would add an additional 672 beds and
should be completed in early 2013.
RALEIGH POLICE DEPARTMENT
From: http://www.raleighnc.gov/home/content/Departments/Articles/Police.html
The goal of the Raleigh Police Department is to make Raleigh one of the safest cities in America. To do that, we
continually advance strategies that prevent crime. We find ways to engage the community in taking steps that help
minimize opportunities for victimization. We explore appropriate policy direction with the Mayor and City Council. We
seek solutions to the complex community problems that contribute to crime and disorder. And we enforce the laws
and arrest the people who break them.
DETECTIVE DIVISION
The Detective Division conducts criminal follow-up investigations and initiates investigations involving vice, drugs,
gangs, cyber crime, organized crime and other criminal activities and threats. Some detective personnel are
assigned to units that are centrally located at the Department's headquarters, while others are distributed among the
city's six police districts.
Working independently and with others in the department, detectives employ investigative techniques and strategies
to identify suspects and make arrests. They frequently utilize crime analysts who are equipped with modern
technology that allows them to closely monitor criminal activity for early signs of crime patterns and trends.
Centralized units include:
 Aggravated Assault Unit
 Burglary Apprehension Team
 Career Criminal Unit
 Crime Analysis Unit
 Cyber Crimes Unit
 Drugs & Vice Unit
 Fraud and Forgery Unit
 Fugitive Task Force
 Financial Crimes Unit
 Homicide Unit
 Intelligence Unit
 Robbery Unit
 Technical Assistance Response Unit
 Youth and Family Services Unit
A detective sergeant supervises each centralized unit. Also, at least one detective sergeant is assigned to each
police district to supervise the investigations performed by detectives working there. District detectives handle a
broad spectrum of criminal cases including such major crimes as assaults, burglaries, larcenies, and robberies
occurring in their geographic areas. In addition district detectives work closely with personnel from Detectives
Division's centralized units, with other divisions of the Raleigh Police Department, and with other law enforcement
agencies.
FIELD OPERATIONS DIVISION
Uniformed officers assigned to the Field Operations Division have the primary purposes of responding to calls for
service from citizens and providing preventive patrol for all areas of the city. The calls for service handled by the
officers are generated by Emergency 9-1-1 calls from citizens and from actions initiated by the officers themselves.
The first responding officer to a 9-1-1 call is usually from the Field Operations Division.
Officers assigned to this division are responsible for specific geographic "beats" of the city. These beat areas are the
foundation for the department's district policing system. These officers patrol the same area every workday. This
allows them to identify problem areas and citizen concerns so that proactive strategies can be developed to resolve
them. They know any trouble spots and can often identify repeat offenders who live or visit within their district.
Officers begin their career in this division. After receiving their initial training at the Raleigh Police Academy, recruits
are assigned to experienced training officers. The recruits expand the basic knowledge obtained from the academy
and are eligible for patrol duty after successfully completing field training.
Field Operations personnel carry much of the workload generated by calls for service. In addition, these officers are
alert for criminal activity and traffic violations that require immediate enforcement action. Officers work in partnership
with citizens to help them make every neighborhood and business area a better place.
Officers frequently initiate special operations that are designed to match the needs of their beats. They also engage
in other projects designed to prevent crimes, deter criminal activity, or apprehend known offenders. Additionally, the
division's officers are often called upon to work assignments such as the Christmas Parade, First Night Raleigh and
other special events.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS DIVISION
The Special Operations Division is a compact and flexible organization that often sees the nature of its assignments
change in response to crime trends and other identified special needs. The Division's closely monitors statistical
information generated by the Department's Crime Analysts and the Records Section, along with intelligence gathered
from the Field Operations District Commands and other sources. The Special Operations Division also maintains
direct relationships both with district commanders and with the Detective Division, and it provides districts with
resources that specifically target criminal activities and assist with investigations.
The Special Operations Division schedule facilitates a unity of investigational and tactical teams that work together to
form a joint force that is capable of effectively addressing nearly every possible situation. At any given time there is a
Selective Enforcement Unit, Drug Enforcement Unit, and a Traffic Enforcement Unit available to work individually or
as part of a team. The division is comprised of both sworn and civilian personnel.
Major operational elements of the Special Operations Division include:
 Selective Enforcement Unit
 Drug Enforcement Unit
 Traffic Enforcement Unit
 Special Projects Unit
 K-9 Unit
 Animal Control Unit
 Police Desk Operations
 Mounted Unit
 Taxi Inspections
