The Forensics Services Division is
responsible for the recognition, documentation collection, and analysis of
physical evidence. Two full time Identification Technicians provide

experience in crime scene investigation and have

This unit follows the principle that knowledge in
and of itself serves no humanitarian purpose if it is not shared with those
who wish to acquire it. The ICSU works closely with the internship
program of the University of New Haven.
Through this internship, several students interested
in crime scene investigation, have the opportunity to work in a specialized
unit of the West Haven Police Department that is highly respected in the
legal and law enforcement community. These interns are given a hands
on approach to practical techniques utilized in everyday law enforcement
investigations.
