The Detective Bureau is responsible for conducting criminal investigations pertaining to a wide variety of law enforcement initiatives - including narcotics interdiction, financial crimes, identity theft and fraud, domestic violence, and all other major investigative areas.
The Bureau also provides a variety of community services such as Good Conduct Letters, ink fingerprinting for federal and out-of-state employment or education, etc., firearms applications, and liquor license applications.
