Criminal Investigations Division
Welcome to the Criminal Investigation Division & Narcotics Section of the
UT Dallas Police Department.
The UT Dallas Police Criminal Investigation Division (CID) falls under the
umbrella of the Department's Administrative & Investigative Services. The
CID practices an integrated Intelligence Lead Policing, Information
Sharing, and Community Policing approach. The CID works intimately with
the Patrol Division and Crime Prevention Section as well as other sections
of the Department.
The CID is responsible for conducting felony & misdemeanor criminal
investigations ranging from property crimes & crimes against persons to
public order offenses and white collar crimes. The CID conducts follow-up
investigations; interviews victims, witnesses, persons of interest and
suspects; drafts arrest and search warrants; gathers criminal
intelligence; provides criminal analyses; and tracks and monitors trends
in crime. The CID also coordinates and assists the Department.s Crime
Victim Advocate in supporting victims of crime.
Detectives are on call to assist any Patrol or Department need. They
investigate the crimes not cleared or solved by the Patrol Division.
Detectives also provide specialized experience & insight to assist patrol
officers in their first responder responsibilities. Detectives offer a
wide range of support through the application and utilization of a variety
of investigative assets such as an assortment of advanced technologies or
coordination with task force resources, among others. The CID consists of
both uniformed and plain clothes Detectives and is supervised by a
Detective Sergeant. Detectives have advanced proficiencies, training and
experience in criminal investigation methods and techniques. Detectives
respond to all major offenses and crime scenes and assist the Patrol
Division when assistance is requested. Also, Investigative Assistants
provide the CID and Detectives administrative, investigative and technical
support.
Additionally, the CID is accountable for case management and follow-up of
initial offense reports taken by patrol officers. The CID assists
responding officers with crime scene response, case clearance, preparation
of reports and case information that are later submitted to prosecuting
attorneys for disposition in all counties of jurisdiction. Generally,
efforts are coordinated with both the Collin County and Dallas County
District Attorney Offices. Detectives work closely with dozens of
federal, state and local agencies. Evidentiary fingerprints, hairs &
fibers, DNA and other forensic evidence is generally submitted to the
Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab for analysis. Fingerprints
are entered into the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
while DNA profiles are entered into the Combined DNA Index Systems
(CODIS).
The CID acts as a liaison on behalf of the Department and participates in
and supports several multijurisdictional task forces such as the North
Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force, North Texas Violent Gang Task Force,
North Texas Crime Commission, Crime Stoppers, Dallas Emergency Response
Network, and others. In case of emergencies and elevated threat levels,
the CID is also connected to the National Alert System.
Furthermore, the CID represents the Department by membership with the
National White Collar Crime Center (NWC3), Regional Organized Crime
Information Center (ROCIC), and the Police Investigative Operations
Committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).
Narcotics Section
In addition, the Criminal Investigation Division has a Narcotics Section
that is specially trained in drug enforcement. The Narcotics Section is
responsible for all felony and misdemeanor drug related investigations.
Because the nature of illegal drug activity has no boundaries, the
Narcotics Section works directly with numerous other agencies and
multijurisdictional counterdrug task forces at the local, state and
federal levels. The Narcotics Section also utilizes assets shared by the
Drug Enforcement Administration, El Paso Intelligence Center, the North
Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force and others.
Furthermore, the Narcotics Section is a participant in the Texas Narcotic
Officers Association. The Section also supports community outreach and
community anti-drug efforts through its active participation in The Collin
County Substance Abuse Coalition.
The University of Texas Dallas is a Drug Free Zone (DFZ).
The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure is the statutory authority for Drug
Free Zones. Penalties for drug offenses as outlined in the DFZ statute
are enhanced at the time of offender sentencing. Suspected substances and
other related evidence is submitted to the Texas Department of Public
Safety Crime Lab for testing and analysis.
