Along with community resource officers, detectives from this section also monitor all sexual offenders who reside within the city’s jurisdiction. The domestic violence section advises and assists victims of domestic crimes in recovering from abuse and taking the necessary steps to prevent further abuse. The unit also assists in finding temporary shelter for children and notifying the next-of-kin of the deceased.
