• Narcotics
• Financial Crimes
• Child Abuse 
• Motor Vehicle Crimes

Criminal Investigators work with local, state, and federal agencies in the investigations of all levels of criminal activity.  CID personnel are responsible for all crime scene investigation and processing. These officers are highly trained in the collection, preservation, and packaging of evidence in criminal cases requiring laboratory examination.

Most evidence collected by the department requiring laboratory analysis is transported to Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Labs.

Criminal Investigators work with local, state, and federal agencies in investigation of all levels of criminal activity.
