Hanahan Police Investigations
The Investigations Division is staffed by three detectives.
Two officers are assigned to general investigations in which each handles
a variety of cases such as burglaries, larcenies, and assaults. The
remaining Detective has the daunting task of the reduction of illegal
narcotic distribution.
General Investigations
The
Criminal Investigation Division has the responsibility of handling criminal
case investigations, including Arson, Burglary, Child Abuse, Deaths,
Homicides, Forgery, Rape, Robbery, and other crimes which require investigative
expertise because of the complexity of the crime.

The
Narcotics Unit is responsible for enforcing and investigating all narcotics
complaints and violations within the City of Hanahan. This is accomplished
by executing search warrants, investigating drug overdose incidents
and conducting undercover narcotics investigations. The Narcotics Unit
also provides interdepartmental narcotics training and promotes drug
awareness and prevention.
The Narcotics Unit
frequently conducts joint investigations with other law enforcement
agencies, including the Charleston County Metro Narcotics Task Force, the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office,
