Criminal Investigations Division

 

The Criminal Investigations Division, or C.I.D., is comprised of five separate sections, Violent Crimes, Property Crimes, Crime Scene Unit, Property& Evidence, and Victims Advocate.

C.I.D. is typically staffed by those women and men who have successfully tested for the position of Detective, and demonstrated a natural proficiency for investigating crimes while they were assigned to patrol duties.  Aside from conducting investigations,  Detectives also perform a number of collateral duties such as participating on Special Operations Teams, conducting joint investigations with other law enforcement agencies, or assisting other departmental divisions.   All investigative personnel must be able to coordinate their activities and maintain a positive relationship with the victims they serve.
