The Criminal Investigations Division (CID) in addition to the traditional detective duties are also involved with the Crime Stoppers program for Ingleside. The more traditional investigation roles are divided into three parts: Crimes Against Persons, Property, and Public Education and Awareness.

Crimes Against Persons include homicide, assault, sexual assault, and robbery, in which a person is injured endangered, or threatened. Homicides and robberies are the more publicized of these crimes, fortunately, they do not comprise the majority of the work load. When cases involve physical and sexual abuse of children, the detective's work closely with the Child Advocacy Center, and the Texas Department of Human Services (Child Protective Services).

Property crimes are burglaries, theft, criminal mischief, ect. which cause monetary lose to the victim. The detectives constantly try to identify crime trends in addition to solving offenses through investigative leads. When criminal prosecution is not possible, the detectives strives to help victims recover their loss through referrals to other available resources.

The Crimes Stoppers Program is designed to obtain information from those sources that have knowledge about felony crimes, but are reluctant, for whatever reason, to come forward. Crime Stoppers offers these individuals anonymity and financial reward for the information they provide. The main purpose of the Crime Stoppers Program is to obtain information on cases through sources not available to case investigators.
