Beckham works CID with Detectives Randy Hanson, promoted from patrol in March and Josh Wolfe, promoted from patrol at the end of June. The command structure continues with Kurt Berryman, patrol lieutenant and Nikki Archer, patrol sergeant.
The patrol force has welcomed two officers during the midst of these changes Megan Johnson and Brian Keating.
