Responsibilities

While law enforcement officers most often are the first on the scene of any police event, the Investigations Division is tasked with the responsibility of conducting criminal investigations that require special expertise. Due to their complexity of some crimes, investigations cannot always be readily completed by a law enforcement officer. It is the investigator's job to trace down leads, clues, and suggestions in an effort to arrest and prosecute guilty persons. This division is dedicated to proactive investigative initiatives that provide for a safe community.

Investigators also perform such duties as surveillance, intelligence gathering, undercover operations, crime scene investigation, and other specialized duties.
