Investigations
The Investigations Division of the Shorewood Police Department is led by Deputy Chief of Administration and Investigations Jason Barten who oversees three detectives, the work of our Crime Scene Investigators and Evidence Technicians to build prosecutable cases in coordination with state and local prosecutors.
Detectives
Detectives in the Shorewood Police Department are sworn police officers selected because of their individual skills receive specialized training and work cooperatively with a diverse network of regional partners for localized and regional criminal cases. Detectives routinely work taxing caseloads with complex and diverse issues requiring an inordinate amount of versatility and conscientiousness in the execution of their duties. Most importantly, the Investigations Division advocates for victims and routinely refers them to the entities most able to assist them in their recovery from their individual situations. As of June 2023, the sworn officers appointed to the Investigations Division are Detective Kevin Frazier, Detective Brett Middleton, and Detective Paul Retzke.
