The Criminal Investigation Division of the Monroe Police Department is responsible for followup investigation of calls and incidents which fall outside the scope of the Uniform Patrol Division.
Offenses are separated as crimes against persons and crimes against property, then resources are allocated by severity of the criminal act (felony or misdemeanor), and futher catagorized by presence or absence of witnesses or physical evidence used to complete an investigation of the incident.
The Uniform Patrol Division is the most visible portion of the Monroe Police Department. Uniformed officers operating marked police vehicles provide 24-hour patrol services and response to calls for assistance.
The Patrol Division operates on 12-hour shifts, with a Sergeant or Lieutenant in charge of each shift, and several officers working with them.

The admin section is currently staffed by two civilian employees and is open for business from 8am until 4:30pm, Monday thru Friday. We are located at 116 South Broad Street through the Police Department entrance.
Listed below are fees for various services provided by the admin section. Payment must be made by check or money order only; cash will not be accepted at the police window.
