Department Units
| Major
Investigation Unit (MIU) |
The
MIU (Major Investigation Unit) was
formed in the spring of 2002 as a
cooperative effort between the City
of Delafield, Village of Hartland
and Village of Chenequa Police Departments.
The purpose of this unit's formation
is to provide a resource member departments
could utilize in case of a significant
investigation which could otherwise
overwhelm their individual abilities
to conduct it. Originally, each department
was to contribute to a shared joint
budget and four officers who would
develop skills in four different areas:
investigator, evidence technician,
accident reconstruction and photography.
Delafield added two additional members
in 2002, with plans to add other specialists
in the future. Since its inception,
it has been used successfully in a
large burglary, several suspicious
sudden death investigations and a
homicide.
In
mid 2002 a trailer was purchased with
funds from a grant through the Office
of Justice Assistance. This trailer,
which is pictured above, is used at
crime scenes to provide equipment
necessary at the scene. The trailer
can also be used as a "command
post" at the scene.

Critical
Incident Team (CIT)
Five members of this
agency are assigned to the Lake Area
Critical Incident Team (CIT). The
CIT is ajoint agency tactical team
comprised of officers and staff from
the Cities of Delafield and Brookfield
and the Villages of Hartland, Chenequa

three professional psychologists assigned

To become a team member,
officers must undergo a challenging

The
City of Delafield, Villages of Hartland
and Chenequa all purchased a speed monitoring
trailer together. The agencies share
the use of this trailer in the spring,
summer and fall. The trailer is used
to remind drivers what the speed limit
is, and to show them just how fast they
are going utilizing radar and a digital
display on the trailer.If you feel there
is a place where extra
radar
enforcement is needed, contact our department
at 646-6240. |

patrols the downtown area, the Lake
