The Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is a statewide law enforcement agency dedicated to upholding the highest standards of investigative excellence, professionalism, and ethical conduct. We recognize the unique challenges and complexities that crimes of a statewide nature present, and our specialized teams of agents, investigative analysts, technological experts, and digital evidence specialists stand ready to investigate them or assist other law enforcement agencies in doing so. Through a collaborative approach, we work hand-in-hand with local, county, state, tribal, and federal agencies to investigate a diverse spectrum of crimes involving homicide, arson, crimes against children, human trafficking, labor trafficking, drug trafficking, homeland security, financial, illegal gaming, Medicaid fraud, public integrity, cyber and computer crimes. The Division will also perform special investigations requested by the Governor or the Legislature. Beyond our direct investigative role, we also shoulder the responsibility of empowering and equipping other law enforcement agencies through extensive training programs, ensuring that our collective response to crime is always ahead of the curve. Our goal is to ensure justice is served, the vulnerable are protected, and public trust in law enforcement is maintained at the highest level.
Vision
The Division of Criminal Investigation aims to be a trusted investigative resource for law enforcement throughout the State of Wisconsin. DCI will uphold its responsibility of investigating crimes that are statewide in nature or importance by continuing to work closely with local, county, state, tribal and federal officials. In addition, the Division will continue to provide extensive training to criminal justice partners on current issues in law enforcement. Through persistent innovation, collaboration, and dedication to our mission, we will continue our role in shaping the next generation of law enforcement officers equipped with state-of-the-art skills and knowledge. Whether it is responding to the immediate challenges of today or preparing for those of tomorrow, the Division of Criminal Investigation is committed to creating a safer State of Wisconsin for all.
