Strike Force - is a trained and fully functional covert surveillance unit with the ability to work independently, as a component of a major crimes investigation or in the role of intelligence gathering activities for the Department. Primary investigative focus is placed upon but not limited to illicit drug related investigations. The Section also has responsibility for the development of drug experts within the Department to be relied upon in court and for both recruit training and public awareness lectures.
Street Crime Unit - is a plainclothes unit responsible for a number of portfolios including property crimes, gang and guns related projects, and high-risk offenders. The Section develops targets based on intelligence received and either brings them to project status for other sections to investigate or takes enforcement action themselves. The Unit also assists as and where required with both Strike Force and Major Crimes Investigators.
Investigative Services - This unit consists of three detective sections, Major Crimes, Financial Crimes and Special Victims Unit. Major Crimes members investigate serious offences against persons, including but not limited to serious assaults, robberies, suspicious sudden deaths, forcibile confinements and so forth. Financial Crimes members investigate fraud related matters where the dollar loss is in excess of $5,000, counterfeit currency files, debit and credit card skimming and other fraud related complex files. The Special Victims Unit investigates sexual assault related files and all child abuse and child sexual abuse files as well as internet luring and child pornography files. All of these units provide support to the Uniform Services Division on complex serious investigations and to the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit on homicide investigations.
