Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) specialized investigative services include investigative, analytical and crime scene responses, as well as long term assistance with complex investigations. 

• Predatory crimes investigations – BCA agents work in partnership with local agencies to conduct human trafficking and internet crimes against children investigations, and assist local agencies with investigating sexual assaults and tracking and prosecuting predatory offenders who do not comply with court-mandated predatory offender registration. The BCA also maintains a list of offenders who are not compliant with registry requirements.
• Homicides, missing persons and cold cases  – BCA provides investigative assistance in death investigations upon request by a local law enforcement agency. This service is requested most frequently by agencies without the resources to conduct an investigation of this scale. The BCA can also provide resources and tools to aid your missing persons or cold case investigations.
• Financial crimes – The BCA leads a statewide task force that investigates financial crimes related to identity theft, with a special emphasis on organized criminal enterprises.
• Violent crime reduction – The BCA leads a Violent Crime Reduction Unit focused on reducing violent crime wherever it occurs.
• Narcotics investigations – BCA agents throughout the state investigate mid- to upper-level drug trafficking organizations. Agents work closely with local task forces and federal partners.
