Statistically, "Arson" is one of the hardest crimes to prosecute successfully.  The Greene County Sheriff's Department has initiated an
"Arson Task Force"
comprised of three members.  Patrol Lieutenant Jakie Christy, Investigator Ronnie Monk, and Investigator Allen Shipley.  The task force is called out to investigate all suspicious fires to attempt to determine the "origin" of the fire. They also assist in interviewing of witnesses and suspects and are a great asset in prosecuting offenders.
Each of these team members have had extensive training in Fire Investigations and are continuing their education with a goal of "State Certification."  At their disposal is the "Arson Van" which is fully equipped with necessary tools and equipment to investigate "Fire scenes" and properly collect evidence for future prosecutions .

The sheriff's department participates with  Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies and has establish the
Anti-Terrorism Task Force
Detectives Jeff Morgan and Danny Ricker are members of this Agency.
The purpose of the task force is to act as a mechanism by which federal, state, and local law enforcemtnt officials can share terrorism related information.  This agency will provide investigative reports, and bulletins to local officers along with names, photographs, and biographical information on persons of interest, wanted fugitives (foreign and domestic) and missing persons.  The agency was formed at the direction of United States Attorney General John Ashcroft in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11th.
