Investigative Services

Investigative Services is responsible for analyzing data collected on all criminal cases. These cases are classified by the seriousness of the violation, as well as the solvability of each offense. Cases are then assigned to detectives and investigators who specialize in either crimes against persons or property crimes.  They also provide background investigations for potential city employees, such as police officers or dispatchers.

Investigative Services personnel work closely with the other units in the police department on a frequent basis. Investigative Services also tracks trends in criminal activity and progressively works with our  Tactical Patrol Unit  and Community Patrol personnel  to apprehend suspects; often solving several cases with the apprehension of a single individual. Notable trends in criminal activity are also frequently disseminated to the Crime Prevention Unit and our C.O.P. Volunteers to increase public awareness.
