2010 Annual Report - Carroll County Government

Internet/Computer Crimes and Fraud Investigations
A sub-unit of the criminal investigation section, the computer crimes and fraud unit focuses on internet
crimes against children, white collar crimes, identity theft, and fraud investigations. Because of the efforts of
the two detectives specially trained in these matters, many perpetrators were brought to justice. Sergeants
Bradley Brown and Jesse Dimura work closely with the Carroll County States Attorney’s Office and allied law
enforcement professionals in the field to identify and arrest these complicated and sophisticated criminals.
Crime Scene Unit
Ms. Jessica Bullock is a multi-talented individual
who currently staffs the Sheriff’s Office Mobile Crime
Lab, evidence and property room, and collection of
all medications from the prescription drug disposal
program. In 2010, Ms Bullock reached an enviable
milestone by processing her 1,000 th crime scene for
law enforcement. She is also primarily accountable for
collecting, categorizing, maintaining chains of custody,
and final disposal of all evidence and prescription
drugs seized by the Sheriff’s Office or turned over by
citizens. In the Sheriff’s Office alone, that accounts for
more than 8,000 pieces of evidence, and over 800 lbs
of prescription drugs that were incinerated rather than
being flushed into the Carroll County Watershed. Her
many duties have generated increasing numbers in this
and other regards, as observed in the accompanying
statistical chart for the Mobile Crime Lab.
Drug Task Force
At the Carroll County Drug Task Force, Sheriff’s covert
investigators participate in a multi-disciplinary team of County,
State, and Municipal police officers responsible for combating illegal
possession, transportation, and distribution of narcotics, hallucinogens,
barbiturates, amphetamines, cannabis, etc. These specialized groups
of dedicated employees work behind the scenes to infiltrate, expose,
investigate, and arrest offenders responsible for drug trafficking
occurring in Carroll and surrounding counties. They work very closely
with all law enforcement entities throughout Maryland to attack any
