DIU

Technology has become a major part in our daily lives. Finding new ways to make life more convenient, efficient and resourceful is one of the great ways Technology contributes to our world. The newest unit at the KCSO, the Digital Intelligence Unit (DIU) was established in October 2018, to help officers, investigators and staff do just that with their daily tasks. The unit has dedicated almost 90 years of combined service and experience to Knox County.
