Deputies and other law enforcement personnel injured while responding to an incident may be evaluated and treated by emergency medical personnel.

3. Arrests May Follow Serious Incidents

When investigators believe a person may have violated criminal laws, an arrest may be made and charges may be filed based on the available evidence.
