The Detective Bureau has the primary responsibility for conducting criminal investigations into crimes occurring within the City of Allen Park. Whenever an arrest is made by an officer of the department for a criminal offense or when a criminal case report is filed by a citizen, a detective is assigned to conduct a follow-up investigation into the incident. Criminal investigations include interviewing possible suspects, obtaining witness statements and gathering further evidence. If sufficient evidence exists, the detective will submit a warrant request to the city or county prosecutor, as appropriate. During the criminal prosecution of cases, the assigned detective is the Officer in Charge of the case and appears as necessary in court during the different phases of the judicial process. The Detective Bureau also oversees department officers assigned to federal task forces. The Detective Bureau is under the command of Det/Lt. James Soden.
