The Detective Bureau is primarily responsible for conducting all follow up investigation of reported incidents occurring within the township limits. The Bureau is currently staffed by three Detectives assigned to handle matters relating to adult and juvenile offenders.

Any crimes reported, which may range anywhere from petty thefts to homicide, are reviewed by the Detective Bureau sergeant and assigned to a detective for follow up based on several solvability factors with priority given to more serious offenses. Members assigned to the Detective Bureau receive extensive training in several areas including but not limited to:

• Crime Scene Investigation
• Fingerprinting & Identification
• Photography
• Interview & Interrogation
• Forensics and Narcotics Enforcement

Our detectives strive to maintain a relationship with all members of the department as valuable sources of information. They also work closely with numerous municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies when appropriate.

In addition, the detectives encourage the sharing of information with members of the public. Many investigations are initiated as well as solved through this type of cooperative effort. Detectives are typically available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. At all at other times, detectives are available through an "on-call" status to respond as needed.
