Investigations
The OSU Investigations Division investigates all crimes that occur within OSU Police jurisdiction. The main focus of our investigators is following up on reported crimes to identify responsible parties.
At the conclusion of the investigations charges will be filed or referred to the jurisdiction that the offense was committed in.
In addition to investigative work, investigators conduct crime prevention presentations to educate and engage the OSU community on safety awareness.
They also perform all background checks for new officers and employees. One investigator oversees the evidence room, managing the intake of all evidence collected by the department and ensuring its proper disbursement after proceedings are completed.
