Criminal Investigations Division

The Investigations Division is commanded by Lieutenant Robert Catania. There are three Detectives and one Youth Specialized Detective assigned to this Division. Detectives are specialized investigators who assist the Patrol Division in case investigation of all major crimes and complex crimes that require prolonged investigation or special training and expertise. A detective is assigned to the Mid-State narcotics unit, comprised of the towns of Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Newington, Berlin and Cromwell. Through area cooperation, this unit has played a significant role in detecting and preventing the establishment and operation of the illegal drug trade within our community.

A sample list of the types of investigations and services that the unit provides is:

• Vice and criminal intelligence operations.
• Narcotic investigations with assigned personnel to the Mid-State Narcotics Task Force.
• Crime scene processing.
• Forensic processing.
• Evidence processing and inventory services for the department.
• Employee background checks.
• Other investigations as needed.

Mid-State Traffic Unit/Accident Investigation/Reconstruction/Vehicle Enforcement

The Mid State Accident Reconstruction Squad (MSARS) was established to aid participating agencies in the documentation and investigation of serious injury and fatal motor vehicle collisions when the agency deems special investigation skills are necessary to the success of such an investigation.  Such special investigation skills may include reconstruction of the collision. Each member of the unit is a certified accident reconstructionist and the team deploys the latest in technology to achieve the highest level of professional documentation.  As part of the Capital Region Chiefs of Police initiative on regional cooperation, grants have been secured through Newington Police Chief Richard Mulhall and the unit is commanded by Rocky Hill Police Lieutenant Robert Catania.
