Special Victims
Unit, also known as sex crimes, investigates
crimes such as rape, molestation, incest, human trafficking, missing
persons, slavery,
and any other crime considered to sensitive for normal police
work. The detectives in this division are highly trained and
specilize in this type of work, but it takes its toll and the burn out
rate is high. In many 
cases,
serial killers fall under the eye of
this section, and they will often work with both Homicide and vice, as
well as other departments in limited capacity.Sample SVU detectives
Personal issue for Detectives is far less than that given to Uniformed patrol. Though they usually retain the
quipment
they were issued
as uniformed officers before their promotion. While Detectives
are issued a department firearm and holster, most opt to purchase their
own, though their primary weapon must be equipped with a 911 chip,
Cookie Cutter, and guncam by the department
techs.Detectives operate either alone or with a partner, and often as part of a larger group in high profile investigations. Most detectives opt to use their own vehicles, carried under department insurance, though if they have no vehicle, or an inappropriate vehicle, the department will issue a nondescript, unmarked mid-range sedan for duty use only. High ranking or exceptional detectives may be rewarded with an AV-3 aerocop for duty use. Additionally these aerodynes may be issued on a case by case basis. A police radio and computer will be installed in any duty vehicle used by the detective, be it an issued vehicle, or a personal one.
