The Vice Unit is responsible for addressing criminal activity that undermines public safety and community quality of life through proactive enforcement, targeted investigations, and intelligence-led operations. This unit encompasses the Street Crimes Unit (SCU), the Drug Task Force (DTF), and the Intelligence Unit, allowing for a coordinated approach to complex and evolving crime trends.
Vice personnel focus on identifying repeat offenders, organized criminal activity, and illicit operations through surveillance, informant development, data analysis, and collaborative investigations. Intelligence gathered by the unit supports proactive enforcement efforts and assists Patrol, Criminal Investigations, and command staff in identifying emerging threats and crime patterns.
Through focused enforcement, interagency cooperation, and strategic use of intelligence, the Vice Unit plays a key role in crime suppression, offender accountability, and long-term public safety.
