The Detective
Division consists of two Detective Sergeants and three Detectives
and is run by a Detective Lieutenant. The bureau follows up on all
crimes reported to our department. Within our bureau, individual
detectives have been trained to investigate specific types of crimes.
Presently,
we have detectives assigned to the areas of narcotics, fraud, identity
theft, arson, processing and photographing of all crime scenes,
high priority arrest warrants, obtaining sworn statements as basis
for criminal complaints, Megan’s law processing, domestic
violence, evidence and property management, weapons confiscations,
robberies and sex crimes. Also under the umbrella of the Detective
Division are two additional detectives under the supervision of
a Detective Sergeant that follow up on crimes committed by juveniles
and family offense issues.
Our Detectives
work closely with other local police departments and federal and
state agencies. Members of the bureau also coordinate the departments’
cases with the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, Division
of Youth and Family Services and the New Jersey Attorney Generals
Office.
