Canine teams search buildings, areas, vehicles and articles, track suspects and detect narcotics. Set up in August 1998, the DWI Task Force concentrates on impaired drivers and takes over DWI processing from patrol so officers can go back on the street, and the Traffic Division investigates crashes and enforces speed, seat belt, signal and child safety seat rules. The Criminal Investigative Bureau handles serious felonies through units for crimes against persons, crimes against property and financial crimes, and presents its findings to the District Attorney's Office. Internal Affairs reviews possible misconduct and coordinates training needs with the Alexandria Regional Police Academy. Alarm systems are registered through the department's permit section under city Ordinance No. 137 of 1996, and the department charges a one-time $20 fee; public resources cover warrants, records, neighborhood watch, camera registration and safety tips.
