Criminal Investigation Division (CID)
The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is responsible for the follow-up investigations of misdemeanor and felony complaints. The division has two main components, a Narcotics Section and an Investigations Section. Lieutenants supervise both sections. Typically when an offense has been reported to the Police Department, it is forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Division Sergeants for review. Cases are assigned by the Sergeant to one of the Corporal – Detectives for follow-up. The Corporal – Detectives will then contact the complainant as soon as he/she is able for any follow up information.
NARCOTICS SECTION The Narcotics Section is comprised of one Sergeant. At any time any officer of the department may be used to assist in a narcotics investigation.
If you have narcotics related information or questions, you may contact the Narcotics Section at 512-670-5573 or email Daryl Staha.
INVESTIGATIONS The Investigations Section is composed of one Sergeant and five (5) Corporal – Detectives who are assigned cases for follow-up of leads which may identify those persons responsible for committing crimes in the City of Pflugerville. These investigators receive training in specialized crimes such as homicide, child abuse, sexual assault, computer/internet crimes, just to name a few. The investigators are responsible for clearing as many cases as possible. They interview witnesses, interrogate suspects, recover stolen property and prepare cases for the prosecutor. It is one of the most exasperating and rewarding assignments in police work.
The Investigations section is also responsible for the collection and preservation of evidence found at crime scenes. All patrol officers are trained in evidence recovery, but the Investigations section is responsible for processing major scenes, sex crimes and computer crimes. They look for fingerprints, tool marks, and trace evidence. They photograph and diagram scenes. This is a very tedious job, which at times can mean the difference between an unsolved crime and a perpetrator imprisoned.
