The Miami Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Section is made up of specialized units that focus on solving serious crimes in our city. These investigators step in after an incident has been reported, working carefully to collect evidence, identify those responsible, and build strong cases that lead to justice. We work hand-in-hand with state prosecutors and federal partners to ensure offenders are held accountable.

The Section covers a wide range of investigations, including Homicide, Domestic Violence, Sexual Battery and Child Abuse, Robbery, Financial Crimes, Burglary, Auto Theft and Environmental Crimes. They also oversee pawnshop operations and ensure certain business licenses and permits meet legal requirements.

In addition to investigating crimes, the Section is home to our Victim Advocates. This team provides guidance, resources, and support to individuals and families who have experienced loss or trauma as a result of crime.

Together, with our community, state and federal partners we are committed to keeping Miami safe!
