Criminal Investigations

The Criminal Investigations Division of the Allen Police Department is commanded by Deputy Chief Robert Flores. The division includes Crimes Against Persons and Property, Narcotics Unit, Crime Analysis Unit, and a Criminalist Unit.

In addition, the division participates in the Child Abuse Task Force by funding a child abuse investigator that works out of the Collin County Children’s Advocacy Center in Plano. Suspected child abuse should be reported to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services at 1.800.252.5400. This toll free hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you feel a situation is a life-threatening emergency, please call 911. The Texas DFPS works with local agencies to investigate reports.

The General Investigations Unit is charged with investigating all unsolved offenses that occur in the city limits of Allen. Additionally, investigators assigned to this unit are responsible for preparing and filing criminal cases with the Collin County District Attorney or other prosecuting agencies.

This unit may investigate offenses that range from criminal mischief, auto theft, and burglary to aggravated assault and homicide. These investigators also work closely with other agencies in an effort to solve cases.
