High Risk Unit

To meet the Department's mission in protecting the public, staff and offenders, the Eighth Judicial District created a High Risk Unit. This unit functions as a team and provides field surveillance and other related functions on sex offenders, methamphetamine offenders, and other offenders assessed at a high risk to recidivate. Officers work throughout the 14-county District, primarily during evening and late-night hours, and provide surveillance, electronic monitoring, drug and alcohol testing, warrant service, and other related tasks on referred offenders. HRU officers are uniformed, armed, and otherwise equipped as law enforcement officers. In addition, officers are assigned visibly marked and fully equipped law enforcement vehicles. The HRU works closely, and shares information, with all law enforcement agencies.
