CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATIONS (C.S.I.)

In March 2011, the Dover Police Department began its own Crime Scene Investigations Unit or CSI. It is currently staffed by two officers, who reports to the Criminal Investigations Unit Commander.  CSI officers are Graduates of the National Forensic Academy (NFA) at the University of Tennessee. This academy features cutting edge technology and procedures in the collection of forensic evidence and is recognized throughout the world as the premier forensic school. CSI duties include processing major crime scenes, DNA collection from suspects, processing and tracing of all firearms seized, processing shell casings and/or bullets recovered and any other processing requests that are needed by officers in the department.
