The Auburn Police Department's Detective Bureau currently consists of
nine sworn members and two civilians. The Bureau is broken up into several units, each
with their own objectives and responsibilities. The two units within the Detective Bureau
that are most recognized to the general public, are the Central Investigation Division 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. Types of crimes that are
commonly handled by the Detective Bureau are Homicides, Robberies, Serious Assaults, Burglaries and
Rapes. 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. |

In addition, the Identification Bureau is responsible
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 Narcotics Unit, a
division of the Detective Bureau, is also an important part of our Organization. The
Unit's primary responsibility is to investigate and combat the illegal distribution of
narcotics in the City of Auburn.
