The majority of the investigations concern felony crimes, and range from theft to homicide. There are approximately a hundred active cases being worked by detectives on a given day. The Division is currently staffed with a Captain, Lieutenant, eight Detectives, and one adminstrative support person. The police department staffs an efficient and professional IDC unit, responsible for crime scene processing, evidence collection, processing, and control. IDC is capable of processing all major crime scenes and personnel assigned are trained in photography, evidence processing, fingerprint identification, and marijuana identification.
Personnel qualify as experts in court.
The unit is commanded by Sgt. Galen Noll, and consists of one technician, and two property control officers, one of whom is a civillian. It has grown from its original strength of 6 officers to a team of 15 officers. The task of the STAR Team is to respond to high-risk situations that are beyond the scope of normal police operations. This is an additional duty for team members.
