Criminal Investigations DivisionThe Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is responsible for performing the investigative functions of the Elizabethton Police Department. Members of CID answer citizen complaints, respond to major crime scenes, and investigate cases referred by the Patrol Division. In addition, the division handles internal affairs investigations and background investigations of potential employees.

Members of the division conduct interviews and lawful searches during an investigation to gather information or evidence useful in reconstructing the occurrence or circumstances of an illegal act. The primary duties of an investigator include: the apprehension of offenders, recovery of stolen property, preparation of cases for court prosecutions, and presentation of evidence in court cases.
