Criminal Investigation Division

The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is a specialized branch of a police department focused on investigating serious crimes, such as homicides, sexual assaults, and thefts. CID detectives gather evidence, interview witnesses, and analyze information to solve cases. They often work closely with forensic experts and may collaborate with other law enforcement agencies. Their goal is to identify suspects, build strong cases, and ensure justice is served. Unlike patrol officers, CID personnel typically handle complex investigations and are trained in investigative techniques and criminal law.
