Police Department's Detective Bureau is headed by Detective
Captain Richard Roemmele. The detective bureau handles
all types of criminal investigations from white-collar
crimes to crimes of violence. Some of the cases the bureau
works on also stem from complaints originating from the
patrol bureau. Detective Bureau members wear plainclothes
while working and drive unmarked police cars. Detectives
investigate crime using a wide array of techniques that
range from evidence collection to specialized interview
techniques. Detectives are not responsible for patrol
work and therefore have more time to spend on the cases
assigned to them. Detectives are on active duty from 8
AM to 4 PM, 5 days a week but are available 24 hours a
day using an on-call system. |
