Vice and Intelligence Unit

The Allentown Police Department Vice & Intelligence Unit is responsible for:

• Collecting, maintaining, and disseminating drug-related criminal intelligence information.
• Coordinating the Department's seizure and forfeiture of assets discovered during drug investigations.
• Supervising the Department drug purchase/informant funding program.
• Coordinating financial investigations into drug traffickers by systematically identifying the origin and nexus between drug money and other assets.
• Investigating the illegal distribution, sale, and use of drugs.
• Investigations involving Human Trafficking and Prostitution

The Vice and Intelligence Unit also partners with other agencies to develop full scale investigations into the illegal distribution and sale of narcotics and Human Trafficking. These crimes affect our city and citizens; however, the origins of these crimes often lead to other cities and even into other States. With the help of our partners, one of our goals is to take down the entire network of crimes that directly affects our citizens of the City of Allentown.
