Do FBI Special Agents work with state, local, or other law enforcement officers on “task forces”?
Yes. We work with other agencies to investigate violations of many of the criminal laws that the FBI is charged to enforce. Task forces have proven to be a very effective way for the FBI and state and local law enforcement to join together to address specific crime problems. In law enforcement, “concurrent jurisdiction” may exist, whereby a crime may be a local, state, and federal violation all at the same time. Task forces concentrate on terrorism, organized crime, narcotics, bank robberies, kidnapping, and motor vehicle theft.
