The Long County Sheriff's Office Investigations Division is committed to protecting our community by investigating felony crimes that occur within Long County-and those outside our borders that impact our citizens.

📞 Need Law Enforcement? Call 911.
A deputy will be dispatched to your location, assess the situation, and determine if an investigator is needed.

🕒 Year-Round On-Call Coverage
Our office maintains an on-call investigator 365 days a year. If called, they will respond directly to the scene.

📁 Case Tracking & Follow-Up
If an investigator isn't needed immediately:

• The deputy will complete a case report
• Your case will be assigned a unique case number
• Any evidence collected will be tagged with this number
• Reports are typically completed within three working days
• An investigator will then be assigned and will contact the victim directly

👮‍♂️ Your assigned investigator becomes your point of contact-keeping you informed and guiding you through the process.

We're here to serve and protect with transparency, professionalism, and care.
