Vermont State Police Form New Major Crimes Unit

Vermont had 14 homicides last year. It fell to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation at the Vermont State Police to handle the bulk of those cases. That is, until now. The state police has announced the formation of a new Major Crimes Unit. 

Captain J.P. Sinclair, who oversees the new unit, joined VPR to explain its purview, organization and mission.

Lynne worked for Vermont Public from 2002 to 2022 as a producer/reporter for special news projects.
