Cold Case Unit

A Cold Case Unit is a specialized team within law enforcement that investigates unsolved criminal cases—often spanning years or decades—that remain open because new evidence or leads have emerged. Their goal is to reexamine old evidence, pursue new avenues of investigation, and use advanced technology to find answers and seek justice for victims and their families. These cases are called "cold" because they were previously inactive or unresolved, and the unit’s work helps bring closure in situations where initial efforts did not reach resolution.
