2016 Annual Report - El Paso Police Department

Support Services EPPD depends on the dedica Ɵ on of the sta ff who work in support services. These divisions are essen Ɵ al for the smooth opera Ɵ on of all other units. They o Ō en operate behind the scenes but serve vital func Ɵ ons. Support services include but are not limited to the Academy, Special Opera Ɵ ons, Tra ffi c enforcement teams, Administra Ɵ ve services, and Auxiliary Support. Inves Ɵ ga Ɵ ons EPPD divides the inves Ɵ ga Ɵ ve units into two main divisions: Organized Crime and Major Crimes. Each division o ff ers specialized opportuni Ɵ es for detec Ɵ ves. This specializa Ɵ on has allowed EPPD to make strides towards case clearance rates for Part 1 crime, especially those that are of special signi fi cance in the border area. Crimes can be cleared in two ways: by arrest or by excep Ɵ on. A crime is cleared excep Ɵ onally when a circumstance prevents an arrest. Examples include when the o ff ender dies, the vic Ɵ m refuses to cooperate with the prosecu Ɵ on, or the o ff ender is being prosecuted in another jurisdic Ɵ on and cannot be extradited.
