The Identification Division serves the needs of the Brighton Police Department with technical investigations, evidence gathering, and related records and documentation.

The unit is staffed by one full-time investigator and seven part-time crime scene technicians drawn from the ranks of the Road Patrol.

The identification investigator processes crime scenes; takes photographs and gathers physical evidence; classifies, examines and compares latent fingerprints; fingerprints and photographs arrested persons; provides fingerprinting for civilians seeking various licenses or permits; maintains all photographic, video, digital, and evidence gathering equipment; attends to court-ordered expungements; and is the evidence coordinator between the Police Department and the Monroe County Crime Laboratory.

Relative to this, the ID investigator also serves as the property clerk: receives and secures all incoming property and evidence; organizes periodic public auctions; and maintains all files necessary for the integrity of this vital link between the criminal act and successful prosecution.
