Investigations Unit
The Investigations Unit is responsible for analysis and investigation of
crimes. The Detectives in this unit process crime scenes for clues and
evidence; interview witnesses, follow up on leads, and file charges on
suspects with the District Attorney's office. The Unit also works
missing persons cases.
Evidence Unit
Detective Rick
Uselton is the Evidence Technician for the Department. Detective
Uselton keeps track of the vast amount of evidence, contraband, and
found property that the Department collects. This includes tagging the
property, placing it in a location where it is secure but findable when
necessary, presenting evidence in court, release or disposal of evidence
when the Department is finished with it, disposal of contraband, and
attempting to locate owners of found property. Detective Uselton also

School Resource
Officers
The Moore Police Department and the
Moore Public Schools work jointly to
ensure the safety of the students in our schools. As part of this
program, MPD provides School Resource Officers for each of the junior
high and high schools within the city limits of Moore. These are regular
Police Officers whose sole assignment is to work at their school. Not
only does the SRO program increase safety at the schools, it also allows
interaction between students and Officers. When school is not in
session, the SRO's supplement the Patrol Division. The SRO's are
supervised by Sgt. Todd Strickland.
