Support Division and Services

Tualatin Police Department

The Police Support Services Division provides services that support the patrol functions of the police department.

Support Services consists of three units; the Detective Unit, School Resource Unit and the Police Services Unit.

The Detective Unit is responsible for follow-up investigations for specifically assigned cases. These cases are usually serious incidents such as, but not limited to, homicides, death investigations, robberies, serious sexual assaults, serious physical assaults, child abuse cases and other felony cases that demand a unique investigative knowledge, time, and may require travel outside the local area.

The School Resource Unit is charged with providing liaison and services to community schools and is the primary outlet of the Department's prevention/education effort.

The Police Services Unit maintains all reports and records and is also responsible for the receiving, processing and storage of all evidence.
