Investigators of the Macomb Police
Department provide expertise and resources to investigate crimes that
happen in the Macomb area. They are able to investigate crimes
that are often too complex to be handled by patrol officers and may
extend over a significant period of time or extend into other
jurisdictions. Cases are investigated until an arrest is made or
there are no further leads to pursue in the investigation. The
Macomb Police Department's Investigation Division works closely with
area law enforcement agencies to foster cooperation in investigations
via information/intelligence sharing, resource sharing, and supplying
additional manpower for major cases.
The Investigations Division is supervised
by a Lieutenant that oversees day-to-day operations and manages major
cases. The division also consists of a Sergeant of Investigations,
a full-time Investigator, and two Patrol Investigators; Patrol
Investigators primarily handle patrol duties but may assist with
investigations when necessary.
Our
Investigations Division has received specialized training in several
areas. Some of this specialized training would include
Homicide Investigation, Sexual Assault Investigation, Child
Abuse/Assault Investigation, Computer Crime Investigation, Narcotics
Investigation, and Crime Scene Investigation.
