Divisions

The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is composed of five investigative squads that are responsible for conducting follow-up investigations of reported offenses such as violent crimes, fraudulent and computer crimes, arson and all offenses committed against children or committed by persons under the age of 16. The Crime Stoppers program is also part of this division. The CID is the primary liaison with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Members of this division participate in a variety of task forces and investigative groups, including the Violent Crimes Task Force, US Attorney’s Anti-Terrorism Advisory Committee, North Carolina Criminal Information Exchange, and the Piedmont Intelligence Group. The specialized squads and their duties are highlighted below.

The Vice/Narcotics Division works to suppress illegal vice and narcotics activity in the city through active investigations and enforcement of vice/narcotics laws and ordinances, and vigorous prosecution of vice/narcotics offenses, particularly those of an organized nature.

The Investigative Support Division is composed of a number of special units that support the investigative and crime suppression efforts of the Greensboro Police Department.
