The Canton Police Department Special Investigations Unit (SIU) consists of the Coordinated Response Team (CRT) and detectives assigned to multiple task forces, including the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, the ATF, the US Marshal’s Violent Fugitive Task Force, and the Stark County METRO Narcotics Task Force. The unit is tasked with conducting investigations, gathering intelligence, putting that intelligence to use, and supporting other bureaus in efforts to solve and reduce criminal activity.
CRT, which is supervised by one Sergeant, has two primary purposes:
SIU supports other bureaus within the department with acquisition and service of search warrants, locating and apprehension of suspects, and undercover surveillance operations. SIU supervisors are also sometimes asked to handle sensitive investigations.
