Detective Division

Cases that require specialized investigative procedures and techniques are assigned to the Detective Division. This group handles investigations of homicides, crimes against persons and property, arson, fraud and many other criminal cases that are categorized as complex and long-term. Throughout the crime-solving process, detectives engage in various forms of surveillance and are responsible for serving warrants and making criminal arrests.

Detectives undergo extensive training in a number of advanced areas at both state and federal institutions. Courses include finger printing, interrogation techniques, crime scene analysis, and advanced classes in specialties such as crime scene photography and videography.

The detective division owns and operates its own crime scene van - a self contained unit equipped with the latest technologies for evidence collection and identification. This unit enables the department to handle its own crime scene processing.
