The Detective Bureau consists of plainclothes detectives tasked with conducting a broad range of investigative assignments. This division is required to assume responsibility for all felonies where complex follow-up investigation is required and necessary, any misdemeanors where a follow-up investigation is deemed necessary by the detective supervisor, and any other matter determined by the Chief of Police to be appropriate. Most Part A category crimes (murder, robbery, sexual assault, burglary, arson, larceny, and stolen motor vehicles) are investigated by the detectives in this division.
