The Crime Scene Investigations Division responds to the scene of crimes committed in Cabarrus County and processes that crime scene for any evidence that may lead to the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of those responsible for committing the crime.

This is accomplished by first documenting the crime scene through the use of photography and measurements. Crime Scene investigators then process the crime scene for fingerprints, foot or shoe impressions, collection of body fluids or body hair, clothing fibers, and other such evidence that may be valuable in the investigation of the crime. Any evidence collected is then packaged in an appropriate container, marked for identification, and then logged and stored in the evidence room at the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office.
