• Any Other Crime That May Require Substantial Investigation

 Klamath County Major Crime Team

The Klamath Falls Police Department Detective Division is also a primary member of the Klamath County Major Crime Team. The Major Crime Team is comprised of members from the Klamath Falls Police Department, the Oregon State Police, the Klamath County District Attorney's Office and Klamath County Parole and Probation. The Major Crime Team is responsible for collectively investigating significant criminal events county wide that due to their complexity cannot be effectively processed by each agency individually. The most common incidents that the Major Crime Team investigates are homicides. However, the team may be activated for other significant investigations as needed.
