At the end of 2022, Det. Brandon Blair moved to a different role within the Sheriff’s Department and Summit DD’s MUI team began working with Detective Joseph Black. Det. Black has been with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office for 21 years, working first in Corrections and Patrol before coming to the Detective Bureau.

“I knew previous detectives at Summit DD and have been interested in this position for a long time,” Det. Black said. “When this opportunity came up, I jumped at the chance. I love it and am really excited to be here.”

For more information about how and when to notify Det. Black about a possible crime in conjunction with a MUI, please see our Law Enforcement Guide.
