This is a new position that was created in August 1999. This Bureau provides support to the Department in the areas of crime analysis, records, grant management, and animal control. The majority of paperwork Department personnel generate is processed through the Records Unit. The Records Unit is the keeper for all police reports which requires photocopying, distributing and filing the traditional handwritten or hand-typed reports. The primary function of the Crime Analysis Unit is one of mandated reporting.
Statistical information is tracked and reported to the state on a regular basis.
The Unit's crime analyst provides special reports for officers within the Department and for other agencies. Three part-time clerks assist the Unit in preparing the daily bulletin, coding reports, and entering information in the computer system.
