The Homicide Bureau investigates homicides, suspicious deaths, kidnappings, officer involved shootings, missing persons reports, and cold case homicides throughout the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County and the City of Rancho Cordova.

The Sacramento Regional Gang Suppression Unit works to reduce violent street gangs and juvenile gang violence within Sacramento County and surrounding communities. Our primary goals are to reduce the community fear and gang related crime, reduce the number of juveniles involved in gangs, identify and target gang-related individuals, and assist with gang-related investigations for prosecution.

The Major Crimes Bureau prioritizes, investigates and apprehends people based on probable cause and arrest warrants. Detectives write search warrants, prepare reports, collect evidence, and aid other divisions and allied agencies with the location and apprehension of known and dangerous felons. This team initiates extradition to and from the state of California for Sacramento County Sheriff investigations. It is also responsible for recapturing escapees from local detention facilities.

The Robbery Bureau investigates robberies of people, businesses, home invasions, carjacking, and extortion. In most investigations, the suspect wears a mask and gloves to conceal their identity. Robbery detectives use video surveillance and physical evidence, such as fingerprints and DNA to help identify the suspects. Intelligence-Led Policing and collaboration with crime analysts, patrol divisions, and outside agencies help identify trends and robbery series.
