The Investigative Services Division consists of plainclothes detectives supplemented by patrol officers serving 90-day assignments from time to time. This division is required to assume responsibility for all felonies where follow-up investigation is required and necessary, any misdemeanors where a follow-up investigation is deemed necessary by the detective supervisor, and any other matter determined by the Chief of Police to be appropriate. Most Part I category crimes (Murder, Robbery, Sexual Assault, Burglary, Arson, Larceny, and Stolen Motor Vehicles) are investigated by the detectives in this division.
Specialized units within this division include Arson, Auto Theft, Bureau of Identification, Burglary and Robbery, Drug Court Liaison, Firearms, Fraud, Intelligence, and Narcotics Enforcement. Realizing cooperation and coordination among various law enforcement agencies is essential to reducing the level of crime and solving crimes where they do occur, the Investigation Services Division cooperates with other city, state, and federal agencies in investigating incidents utilizing task forces and other cooperative means. This division has 24-hour coverage, seven days a week.
