The Auburn Police Department's Detective Bureau currently consists of
nine sworn members and two civilians. The Bureau is broken up into three units, each
with their own objectives and responsibilities. The three units within the Detective Bureau
that are most recognized to the general public, are the
Detective
Bureau and the
Youth Bureau. These units are
most visible due to their frequent interaction with the public in response to follow up
investigations originally handled by the Patrol Division. The types of crimes that are
commonly handled by the Detective Bureau are Homicides, Robberies, Serious Assaults, Burglaries, Rapes
and Financial and Identity Theft type offenses. The
Youth Bureau is
responsible for handling many of the same crimes as the Detective Bureau, but only those in which
Juveniles are involved.
The Identification
Bureau is a unit that is probably unknown to the general public, however, is
vital to our Police Organization. This unit is responsible for a wide variety of
tasks which include the processing of all finger prints and photographs that are
taken from an arrested subject, or an individual requesting their prints for
certain types of employment applications.

for the processing of all evidence collected at a major crime scene. Once evidence is
collected and processed, the Bureau is responsible for it's maintenance and
safekeeping. In most cases, evidence is sent to a laboratory for analysis,
and then preserved for later court proceedings. The Identification Bureau also has
the task of destroying all evidence that is no longer required to be kept by the Auburn
Police Department. The Identification Bureau is also responsible for
the management of registered sex offenders that live in the City of Auburn. The
function of the Identification Bureau is to enforce the NYS Corrections
Laws which govern registered sex offenders. In addition the Identification
Bureau has the responsibility to enforce Local Law #2 of 2008 of the City of
Auburn. This law governs where Level 3 offenders may reside and travel inside
he City of Auburn. The most comprehensive resource to gain information
regarding registered sex offenders is the NYS DCJS web site. The public
should be aware that a person must first be convicted of a qualified crime and
then be deemed a registered offender by the convicting court before they appear
on the sex offender registry. If further information is desired about the City
of Auburn local law, or if a person has information regarding a registered
offender who may be in violation they may contact I.D.O. Andrew Skardinski.
