The Special Crimes Unit, a vital component housed within the Criminal Investigations Division of the Beaumont Police Department, is dedicated to meticulously investigating a wide array of sensitive cases. At the forefront of its mission are inquiries into sex-related crimes, including assaults and exploitation, as well as offenses perpetrated against children and juveniles. Additionally, the unit assumes a pivotal role in overseeing the registration of sex offenders, ensuring adherence to legal mandates and fostering community safety.

Of particular note is the unit’s unique operational structure, wherein detectives work in collaborative pairs, leveraging collective knowledge and skill sets to tackle intricate investigations effectively.

Beyond the confines of the department, the investigators within this unit forge robust partnerships with external stakeholders, including the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office and The Garth House, a distinguished children’s advocacy center. Furthermore, they collaborate closely with Texas DFPS (CPS) and a myriad of victim support groups, fostering a multidisciplinary approach to addressing these complex cases. Through such concerted efforts, the Special Crimes Unit reaffirms its unwavering commitment to serving justice and safeguarding the well-being of the community’s most vulnerable members.
