Criminal Investigations Division

 

The Criminal Investigations Division is composed of four full time detectives. The foremost responsibility of the members of this Division is to perform follow up investigations on assigned cases utilizing the resources available at the local, state, and federal levels.

The logistical unit falls under the Criminal Investigation Division and is staffed by a Lieutenant as well as a civilian evidence technician. The logistical unit oversees evidence, quartermaster, armory, vehicle maintenance, and physical plant maintenance.
