Bureau of Criminal Investigation

Although uniformed troopers may completely investigate misdemeanor cases such as assault, larceny and criminal mischief, cases requiring extensive investigation or involving felonies are referred to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).

Established in 1935, the BCI is the plainclothes detective branch of the New York State Police, with over 1,000 investigative personnel in its ranks.

BCI investigators work to solve:

Felony crimes
Narcotics
Violent and serial crimes
Child abuse
Sexual exploitation
Computer and technology-related crime
Bias-related crimes
Auto theft
Consumer product tampering
Organized crime

In addition to conducting investigations initiated by the NYSP, BCI investigators regularly assist local and county law enforcement agencies that lack the investigative resources needed for major crime investigations.
