Data is then analyzed and various crime analysis procedures are implemented. The unit actively researches and flags special circumstances related to criminal activity, such as gang and hate crimes, crimes of abuse, officers assaulted, violent crimes against senior citizens, and domestic violence.
The Maintenance Unit coordinates regular upkeep and service of the police facility, fleet and departmental equipment. In addition, the Administrative Division
