The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is also called the Crime Branch.
The CID, often referred to as the Crime Branch, is a specialized branch within police forces responsible for investigating serious crimes. This department operates with a distinct hierarchical structure, mirroring that of law and order police, and is typically headed by a high-ranking officer, such as an Additional Director General of Police. The specific responsibilities and areas of focus of the CID/Crime Branch can vary depending on the jurisdiction, but generally include handling complex and sensitive cases that require specialized investigative skills and resources.
