OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. –Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Mike Hogan has been named the 2021 OCSO Investigator of the Year.

Hogan began his career with the Fort Walton Beach Police Department in 1996 and came to the OCSO in 2016. His first assignment here was Court Security. He was ultimately promoted to “Investigator”.

In January 2021, he was named “Senior Investigator” within the Criminal Investigations Bureau, where he’s one of the most experienced and well-versed investigators on staff.

Hogan continually studies agency policy and Florida Statutes, all while taking several advanced training courses including the intensive polygraph course.

Although Hogan is the polygraph examiner, he is still assigned cases, including the infamous “Dos Negros” cold case homicide from 2005.

Although it had passed through the hands of several investigators, he dug in. After countless hours, search warrants, subpoenas, and interviews, his perseverance paid off.

In 2021, he applied for and was granted four arrest warrants in the murder.

In August 2021, Hogan began looking into a spree of Shalimar vehicle burglaries. He identified a postal package ordered with a stolen credit card from one of the burglaries and where the package was going.

He put together a surveillance team that located the suspect’s residence and identified the package on the doorstep. Hours later, the suspect was spotted leaving.

Hogan prepared a search warrant, which recovered stolen property, a cache of controlled substances, and counterfeit money.

Three subsequent arrests led to the closure of six burglary cases and other credit card fraud cases. In addition, Hogan was involved in the investigation of an armed robbery that had taken place days earlier.

Hogan is the current Vice President of (OCSO) Star Charities, showing his dedication to the well-being of his co-workers and their families.

As an exemplary investigator who displays strong ethics, great judgment, and respect for others, Hogan embodies professionalism, according to a press release.
