The primary function of the Detective Bureau is to provide follow up or secondary investigations for matters that are more serious in nature such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th degree crimes. In many instances, our detectives work together with the Patrol Division in order to address illegal activity such as the sale and distribution of illegal drugs and residential burglaries. The bureau also investigates domestic and family matters such as child abuse and domestic violence and also participate on various federal task forces.
