The desk audits were completed for five of the nine person or property crimes detectives. Each investigator is typically able to begin working their cases within a few days of it being assigned and if the case is a high priority one they will begin working on it immediately. The Criminal Investigations Division provides a high service level to the community as they are well staffed. The CID staffing level allows management to assign cases to Detectives (e.g. thefts and criminal mischief) that in many cities cannot be assigned to a Detective due to the number of higher priority crimes requiring investigation. Springdale Detectives generally also have the time to quickly begin their follow-up Investigation and complete it. As mentioned above, some Detectives are assigned to specialized tasks or work units within CID or as part of a regional investigative task force. CID has one Detective assigned to monitor and ensure compliance with the law for the approximately 80 sex offender registrants in Springdale. Another Detective has just been assigned to work internet crimes to target child sexual predators. Two Detective positions work in the SNAP group Springdale Nuisance – Abatement Program. This group conducts follow-up investigations of graffiti and other quality of life crimes in Springdale and also conducts pro-active investigations to mitigate or resolve nuisance properties (e.g. low priced motel used by prostitutes) where there are a high number of calls for service requiring a Patrol response. Detectives (details in Appendix A) are assigned to work with several federal enforcement efforts: the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force and the Immigration & Customs Enforcement group.
