Purpose

Gang Enforcement

SIU has two detectives whose primary assignment is gang enforcement. These detectives routinely contact suspected gang members and gang associates for the purpose of documentation and intelligence.

Narcotic Enforcement & Other Duties

Another primary duty of SIU is narcotic enforcement. This includes serving search warrants and conducting probation/parole searches on suspected drug dealers.
