DETECTIVE SERVICES<br />
Statement of Purpose<br />
The purpose of Detective Services Program is to solve cases and provide services to victims of crime. Detective<br />
Services includes; the Detective Unit, Crime Lab, and the Evidence & Property Unit.<br />
Description<br />
The primary function of Detective Services is to solve cases by conducting investigative follow-up, initiating criminal<br />
investigations, conducting crime scene and laboratory forensics needs and capacities, and the formal filing of criminal<br />
charges against suspects. In addition, this program collects, preserves, processes and disposes of all evidence and<br />
property.<br />
Accomplishments<br />
In 2017, the Detective Unit continued to utilize Tyler Technology for Case Management as their sole management<br />
system. As a result of this technology piece changeover, the service level indicators have been amended to reflect<br />
areas that can be measured and are important to resolving cases and restoring victims of crime. Detectives have<br />
continued to focus on their two-pronged approach to proactively solve crimes, which includes collaborating with Patrol<br />
Services and crime victims to expedite information related to identifying property type and descriptions of stolen<br />
property as well as utilizing training and equipment to improve Detectives’ ability to conduct covert operations and<br />
investigate crimes. The Detective unit also relies heavily on the use of data through our Strategic Intelligence<br />
Deployment & Accountability Plan (SIDAP) to help strategize on how to solve crimes as well as being proactive, when<br />
the information leads them in that direction. Detectives proactively seek partnerships with others from neighboring<br />
agencies in order to help identify patterns, crime trends and identification of suspects.<br />
Goals/Objectives<br />
In <strong>2018</strong>, Detectives will continue to work with our community as well as our neighboring law enforcement agencies to<br />
solve crimes. Relationships are critically important to our overall mission as a unit. The department will continue to<br />
benefit from one of our detectives continuing to gain additional training, experience and acquisition of electronic<br />
forensic equipment from the United States Secret Service due to our commitment and partnership with them. The<br />
cases impacted involve anything from ATM t<strong>amp</strong>ering to assisting with other agencies homicide cases. Detectives<br />
will continue to focus on technology that is rapidly developed and utilizing that to help us towards our end goals.<br />
