Internet/Computer Crimes and Fraud Investigations<br />
A sub-unit of the criminal investigation section, the computer crimes and fraud unit focuses on internet<br />
crimes against children, white collar crimes, identity theft, and fraud investigations. Because of the efforts of<br />
the two detectives specially trained in these matters, many perpetrators were brought to justice. Sergeants<br />
Bradley Brown and Jesse Dimura work closely with the <strong>Carroll</strong> <strong>County</strong> States Attorney’s Office and allied law<br />
enforcement professionals in the field to identify and arrest these complicated and sophisticated criminals.<br />

Ms. Jessica Bullock is a multi-talented individual<br />
who currently staffs the Sheriff’s Office Mobile Crime<br />

all medications from the prescription drug disposal<br />
program. In <strong>2010</strong>, Ms Bullock reached an enviable<br />

law enforcement. She is also primarily accountable for<br />

and final disposal of all evidence and prescription<br />
drugs seized by the Sheriff’s Office or turned over by<br />
citizens. In the Sheriff’s Office alone, that accounts for<br />
more than 8,000 pieces of evidence, and over 800 lbs<br />
of prescription drugs that were incinerated rather than<br />
being flushed into the <strong>Carroll</strong> <strong>County</strong> Watershed. Her<br />

possession, transportation, and distribution of narcotics, hallucinogens,<br />
barbiturates, amphetamines, cannabis, etc. These specialized groups<br />
