The Special Operations Bureau is responsible for many of the DCI core operations, to include Training & Standards, Internal Affairs, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) compliance, Public Records, Investigative Records, Evidence and Inspections. Additionally, the Special Operations Bureau Director oversees the activities and legislated responsibilities of the division’s Gaming Bureau.
Specialized training for law enforcement officers throughout Wisconsin is coordinated by the Special Operations Bureau. Several specialized training programs the DCI offers are highly sought after by our local, county and federal partners. Some of those training programs include Drug Investigation, Arson, Death Investigation, Technical Services, Human Trafficking and Missing Person Investigations.
For persons wishing to obtain records from the DCI, it is helpful to include as much information as possible, including names, dates of birth and other identifiers, dates and locations of any incidents in question and a concise but specific description of the material being sought. If the investigation is closed, copies of the requested materials will be mailed to the requester. If DCI has no relevant records, or if an investigation is still ongoing, the requester will be so advised in writing.
