Detective Bureau
Reported crimes, which may range from petty theft to homicide, are reviewed by the Detective Bureau supervisor and assigned to a detective for investigation based on several solvability factors with priority given to serious offenses. Members assigned to the Detective Bureau receive advanced training in several areas including but not limited to:
Crime Scene Investigation, Fingerprinting & Identification, Interview & Interrogation, Forensics and Narcotic Enforcement.
Our detectives strive to maintain a relationship with all members of the department, while also working closely with numerous municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
Additionally, the detectives encourage the sharing of appropriate information with members of the public. Many investigations are initiated as well as solved through this type of cooperative effort. Detectives are typically available Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
