More Information
Criminal Investigations Division
Led by Deputy Chief Jason Voyak, the Criminal Investigations Division reviews the reports taken by officers in the Patrol Division and then assign those cases by several different criteria. Detectives often work on several cases at once as cases often progress at different speeds. Cases frequently require information from private businesses, outside agencies, locating witnesses or suspects, lab analysis, or court orders. All cases are worked using a records management system that keeps track of all cases assigned to detectives and tracks any updates to make sure no case falls through the cracks.
While detectives work on cases of all types, they often specialize in a particular type of crime and often maintain contacts in that area that allows them to work with other agencies and businesses on a regular basis. Examples of specialized areas are property crimes, theft crimes, sexual assaults, financial crimes, missing persons, and computer crimes.
The criminal investigations division is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., however detectives typically work ten hours a day, four days a week. With overlapping and rotating days off, this allows detectives to be available fifty hours a week. A detective is always on call and available to respond to a serious incident outside of their normally scheduled hours.
The Noblesville Police Department's property room is in the Public Safety Building in a reinforced and secured portion of the building. Entry to the property room is tightly restricted to only those who work in the property room on a regular basis. If officers from the Noblesville Police Department encounter property or evidence during their shift, it’s submitted to the property room. The availability of the property is dependent on several factors, but if you think it’s available to be picked up, please call (317) 776-6371 to schedule an appointment to pick up your property. You can also complete this online form and the property room manager will contact you. Walk-in appointments are not available because of the strict control of the property room.
The crime scene investigation unit are called to all major crime scenes to document, examine, and collect evidence from the scene. Crime scene investigators receive training in several different areas including photography, fingerprinting, blood spatter analysis, computer forensics, cell phone forensics, etc. Field evidence technicians are patrol officers who are trained in crime scene investigation techniques.
Problem oriented policing unit
The Problem Oriented Policing (POP) unit consists of a Sgt., three officers, and a K9 team. The POP unit focuses on problem areas in the city that result in repeated calls to the police department that conventional police responses don't resolve. The POP unit uses all resources it has available to resolve any crimes in a given address or area.
Crime Analysis Unit
Responsible for supporting the patrol and criminal investigations divisions by providing analysis of data obtained from our records management system, other police agencies, federal agencies, tips, and other information. The Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) consists of both sworn and civilian analysts and can be reached at [email protected]. If you'd like to leave a tip, please complete this form.
