Russian term or phrase: СЧ СУ при УВД ЦАО
Please help my numb brain to avoid repeating "investigative" in this title. I am tempted to just put "the Investigative Department at the Administration for Internal Affairs for the Central Administrative District", as "Investigative Unit of the Investigative Department" sounds ludicrous as a direct translation, but am I detracting from the meaning?
Thanks in advance.

Asker: Thanks for the input, Alexander, but this repetition is what I am trying to avoid. And 2 "directorates" added makes my translation turn to kasha!
