The Investigation
Division of the Auburndale Police Department has
skilled, trained investigators who can be available at
anytime. This division provides follow-up investigation
on all criminal incidents with solvability factors, not
resolved by a the patrol division. Investigators are
assigned crimes relating to general investigations and
special investigations.
General Investigations
would include investigating reports of crime,
apprehending suspects and taking an active role in
tracking repeat offenders. Investigators are assigned
property and violent crimes. They are responsible for
investigating crimes, collecting all evidence in a case,
apprehending suspects and preparing the case for
prosecution. The division also gathers intelligence
information, processes crime scenes and securely
maintains all evidence.
Special
Investigations would include complaints of controlled
substance violations, prostitution and other related
crimes. A variety of tactics are used to combat these
problems within the community. Undercover operations
and the use of informants are largely responsible for
success of the unit. It is essential that an effective
partnership is maintained with the State Attorney’s
Office, colleagues and more importantly, the community.
