After missing class last week due to winter weather, the Dalton Police Department's Citizens' Police Academy resumed class on Tuesday night with a look at the Criminal Investigations Division.
CID houses the DPD's detectives, both general assignment detectives and the Drug Unit and detectives from the Safe Streets Gang Task Force. Sergeant Chris Crossen, Operations Sergeant for CID started the evening off with an overview of the CID's functions, and then a detective with the Gang Task Force finished the evening with a discussion of gangs, their members, and what the DPD has done to curb their activity in Dalton and the surrounding area.
CID will be in the spotlight again later in the Academy, as other detectives go in-depth about the Drug Unit, Polygraphing, Crime Scene Investigation, and other functions of the division.
