  Washington State Patrol title head Criminal Investigation Division

Image of accident investigation The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) was formed in 1982 as part of the Investigative Services Bureau (ISB). CID's main function is to provide follow-up investigative assistance on cases that go beyond the crime scene. This allows line personnel to return to regular duties sooner while enhancing the quality of the investigations. Seventy-six trained detectives are divided among eight district offices throughout the state.

The division investigates vehicular homicides, vehicular assaults, felony hit-and-runs, auto thefts, crimes on the Capitol Campus, and threats to elected officials. CID also provides investigative assistance to local law enforcement agencies upon request.
