Criminal Investigations Division

Comprising of skilled detectives, this division is tasked with conducting in-depth investigations into reported crimes that go beyond the immediate response handled by the patrol division.

Their expertise extends to various types of crimes, including homicides, sexual assaults, fraud, and property crimes.
By focusing on thorough investigations, this division contributes to the overall safety of the community, assists in preventing future criminal acts, and supports the criminal justice system by providing the necessary evidence for prosecutions. The collaboration between the patrol division and CID ensures a comprehensive approach to law enforcement, fostering a safer and more secure environment for the community.
