The Homicide Unit investigates and reviews some of the most serious incidents that affect the lives, health and welfare of the public. All suspicious and accidental deaths are investigated by the Homicide Unit, along with all suicides, homicides and any police officer involved deaths. The unit also investigates missing persons where foul play is suspected and battery on law enforcement officers.

The Homicide Unit also investigates cold case or unsolved homicides, some dating back to as far as 1975. Detectives are tasked with reviewing all cold case homicides and submitting items of evidence for analysis using today’s scientific technology.
