Investigations

Investigations Unit
 
The Investigations Unit of the Munster Police Department is divided into three individual divisions--the Detective Bureau, the Tactical Patrol Unit, and the K-9 Unit.
 
The Detective Bureau follows up on reports, initiates investigations from internal and external sources, conducts background checks on prospective employees, maintains and files juvenile offenses, and files felony charges.
 
The Crime Suppression Unit is responsible for conducting assignments which require immediate attention or provide support to other units.  Such assignments may include traffic enforcement, surveillance operations, drug interdiction, and criminal investigations.
The K-9 Unit is responsible for providing assistance with building and vehicle searches along with other patrol duties.  In addition, our K-9 units can be regularly seen at a number of community policing events throughout the year.
