The Criminal Investigation Bureau (C.I.B.) is responsible for conducting follow-up investigations of crimes and incidents initially investigated by the police officer.  After crimes have been committed against people or property, Detectives from C.I.B. begin their investigations.  Although each case has one detective assigned as the primary investigator, success is often the result of the collaborative effort amongst all members of the unit.  In addition to criminal investigations, the detectives are responsible for conducting police officer and dispatcher applicant background checks as well as liquor license investigations. The Bureau also provides supplemental daily assistance such as calls-for-service responses, prisoner transports, surveillance operations, and criminal case screening.  The Criminal Investigations Bureau is staffed by a Detective Sergeant, five Detectives, and one Identification Officer.
