Investigations:

The authorized strength of the Criminal Investigations Division consists of three full-time detectives who are charged with investigating all major crimes and serious misdemeanors reported in the Town of Warrenton. The Criminal Investigations Division also collects and preserves evidence of crimes, and handles other non-criminal property issues for the department.  Property and evidence may be sent to the Virginia Division of Forensic Science, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other laboratories for analysis. The Criminal Investigations Division has other responsibilities including assisting patrol officers with investigations, conducting background investigations of applicants, and acting as a liaison with other law enforcement agencies.

Traffic Enforcement:

The Special Operations Unit plays an active role in traffic enforcement. The unit is involved in enforcing traffic laws in various areas of the town.  Targeted enforcement is concentrated in areas as needed. The unit is a supplement to the regular patrol officers who also engage in traffic enforcement.

Bicycle Patrol: 

The Special Operations Unit also provides a bicycle patrol.  Bicycle patrols are used at special events and specific areas of enforcement within the town. The community and department both benefit with officers being more accessible to the community.
