Detectives handle follow up investigation on all property crimes that occur within 利县 and work hand in hand with 利县 Animal Control on all Animal Cruelty cases. 2017年初, 的LCSO, the Tallahassee Police Department and the 2nd Judicial Office of the State Attorney entered into a task force agreement focused on property crime within 利县. The 财产 Crimes Task Force collocates county and city detectives to work collectively on identifying and apprehending persons involved in 汽车盗窃s and auto burglaries.
One of the prime crime fighting tools used by the Crimes Against 财产 Unit is the Pawn Shop Database. 这是一个 computer system where all pawn shop transactions are entered and that tracks property pawned in local pawn shops. This system is maintained by 利县, but is in use in many of the counties in North Florida. The list of Florida counties in the system is ever increasing, and soon will include counties in Georgia as well.
By their nature, property crimes are very difficult to solve. There is often little evidence and few, if any, witnesses to assist in 解决 the case. Most citizens do not think to write down serial numbers on their property. When property is stolen those serial numbers can be entered into the FCIC/NCIC database by law enforcement and make it much easier to identify property should it be recovered.
The best weapon against a property crime is a watchful eye. Be aware of what is taking place in your neighborhood. 不要为可疑行为找借口. If you see activity taking place that seems a little strange, call the 利昂县警长办公室 immediately.
