Criminal Investigation Division

The Criminal Investigation Division is under the command of Captain Melvin Mason.

C.I.D. is a specialized unit within the Dickinson Police Department that deals with all aspects of crimes and criminal intelligence. C.I.D. receives reports from the Patrol Division on a daily basis and all reports are reviewed for solvability factors.

Every report is reviewed, logged, and disseminated to the proper detective for follow up. All assignments are reviewed, then given out for follow up by the C.I.D. supervisor or his designee. C.I.D. is divided into several different sections all of which require unique and specialized training.
