Criminal
Investigation Division
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.
