Precision, Science, and Truth in Every Investigation

The Analysis and Forensics Division of the United States Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is a premier investigative unit committed to delivering scientific precision, analytical depth, and forensic accuracy in the pursuit of justice. This division serves as the backbone of major investigations, transforming evidence into actionable intelligence and uncovering critical truths that drive case resolution.

The mission of the Analysis and Forensics Division is rooted in meticulous examination and unwavering objectivity. Utilizing state-of-the-art forensic laboratories, digital analysis platforms, and specialized field capabilities, the division provides essential support in homicide, organized crime, financial crimes, cyber investigations, and other complex cases. From the first trace of DNA to the final forensic report, every process is guided by scientific rigor and investigative integrity.

At the forefront of the division’s capabilities is its comprehensive suite of forensic services, including crime scene forensics, fingerprint analysis, DNA profiling, ballistics, toxicology, forensic pathology, and trace evidence analysis. Expert forensic examiners work closely with detectives to ensure that all physical evidence is collected, preserved, and analyzed to the highest standards. These experts play a pivotal role in reconstructing crime scenes, identifying suspects, and supporting prosecution efforts with courtroom-ready documentation and testimony.

In addition to traditional forensic disciplines, the division excels in advanced crime analysis and criminal intelligence. Through data mining, link analysis, and geographic profiling, analysts within the division identify patterns, trends, and emerging threats that inform both investigative and operational strategies. This intelligence-driven approach empowers CID units to anticipate criminal behavior and deploy resources more effectively.

Collaboration is central to the division’s success. The Analysis and Forensics Division partners with regional, federal, and international agencies to facilitate evidence sharing, joint casework, and access to specialized forensic databases such as CODIS, AFIS, and NIBIN. These partnerships extend the division’s reach and enhance its ability to support cross-jurisdictional investigations.

Personnel within the division undergo continuous professional development in forensic sciences, legal standards, and emerging technologies. This commitment ensures that the division remains adaptive in an evolving landscape of digital crime, encrypted communications, and advanced concealment methods. The division also integrates cyber forensic specialists and digital evidence experts who support investigations involving computer crimes, mobile devices, online fraud, and network intrusion.

Beyond reactive investigation, the division contributes to crime prevention and intelligence-led policing. Through strategic assessments and predictive analytics, analysts assist commanders and investigators in deploying resources to high-risk areas and addressing emerging crime trends before they escalate.

The Analysis and Forensics Division represents the USPD’s unwavering dedication to truth, evidence-based investigation, and scientific excellence. Whether behind the scenes in the lab or embedded with field units at active crime scenes, the division’s professionals uphold the highest standards of accuracy, accountability, and justice — ensuring that no detail is overlooked and no case is left unanswered.
