Detective Division

Deputy Chief Randy Nelson

The Detective Division is primarily responsible for the criminal investigation of assigned felony/misdemeanor crimes that meet designated solvability factors. Successful investigations by the division will typically culminate in an arrest, arrest warrant, felony summons, case referred to another agency, or a determination made that the reported crime did not occur.

The Detective Division is divided into a Persons Crime Unit, Property Crime Unit, Special Cases Unit and a Special Investigations Unit that is assigned to the North Metro Task Force for drug and vice crimes occurring in Adams and Broomfield Counties.

The Detective Division further conducts background investigations, liquor license investigations, is responsible for the gathering, maintaining, and distribution of department criminal intelligence information, and manages the Crime Lab and warehousing of property/evidence submitted to the Property Evidence Room.
