Lompoc Police Department to create a Special Investigations Unit this month and last updated 2021-07-13 23:28:45-04 The Lompoc Police Department is set to launch a Special Investigations Unit this month. Officials say the department just hasnât had enough officers to dedicate their time to investigate violent crimes. This new unit will help address that issue. "We definitely need that.. definitely," said resident Rosemarie Bourdony. "I think it'll be a good thing. I think we need it in Lompoc. There's been a lot of shootings and I know they're understaffed so I think it's the best thing," said resident Rusty Decker.
