INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES BUREAUThe Investigative Services Bureau provides specialized investigative support services to the Division of Criminal Investigation and to law enforcement agencies statewide. The bureau includes the Technical Services Unit and the Analytical Services Unit, and also oversees the work of the Wisconsin Statewide Information Center and the Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults. In addition, this bureau manages investigative records and evidence connected with all DCI investigations. Through DCI, the Wisconsin Department of Justice provides covert surveillance investigative support to criminal investigations of all types. The purpose is to provide specialized investigative services to Wisconsin law enforcement agencies. Special agents from the Technical Services Unit install and operate the equipment necessary to gather information on criminal activity. Assistance is available to all law enforcement agencies for nearly all forms of felony criminal investigations. DCI's investigative involvement in the case, beyond provision of technical services, is not required. The Analytical Services Unit provides analysis and specialized investigative support to enhance the efforts of the Division of Criminal Investigation and other law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin. Experienced criminal intelligence analysts and specialized analytical software are available upon request to provide case-specific operational and tactical analysis to aid in case development and assist with prosecution. Analytical services are normally free of charge to Wisconsin law enforcement agencies and prosecutors for investigations of all crime types. DCI criminal intelligence analysts have worked on hundreds of criminal investigations for narcotics, homicide, arson, gaming and white-collar crimes. The addition of an analyst to an investigative team is often a powerful case development tool, which adds in-depth analysis and a new perspective to an investigation. This approach provides investigative support by identifying suspects, developing case leads, examining patterns of criminal activity, gathering and examining records and searching for vulnerabilities in criminal organizations. Wisconsin Statewide Information Center The Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC) was formed after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security mandated establishment of intelligence fusion centers in every state. WSIC serves as the primary intelligence-gathering entity for the State of Wisconsin, working with state, local, military and federal agencies. WSIC offers sophisticated intelligence-gathering efforts statewide, and produces intelligence briefings for the Governor, top law enforcement officials and partner agency heads throughout Wisconsin. WSIC also serves as the Wisconsin liaison for INTERPOL, which promotes mutual assistance among international law enforcement authorities in the prevention of international crimes. For additional information, law enforcement officers can access the WSIC site through WILENET. Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults The Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults serves as a resource for both law enforcement and families in investigating cases involving missing and exploited children and adults. The Wisconsin Clearinghouse works in conjunction with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and forms part of a nationwide network that works to reunite missing and abducted children with their families. The Clearinghouse also coordinates Wisconsin's Amber Alert Plan in an effort to enhance law enforcement's ability to respond effectively and efficiently when a child has been abducted, in the hope of preventing the victimization of children in Wisconsin. The Investigative Records Unit maintains control of evidence and investigative records for the Division of Criminal Investigation. Investigative Records Unit staff members provide information gathering, program support and background searches for DCI agents. This unit also serves as Wisconsin's liaison for the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP), a national data center organized to collect, collate and analyze specific investigative data, allowing local and state law enforcement agencies to link potentially related cases and helping to establish state and local crime trends.
