What it does
This Program investigates criminal activity in relation to the Federal mandate and relevant legislation. It delivers specialized capabilities-based law enforcement to enable and advance related operations and coordinates with officials from other enforcement, government, and private sector agencies to ensure cross-organization collaboration. The program encompasses the continuum of investigations, and focuses on national security, transnational and serious organized crime (including financial crime), and cybercrime.
