What is the FBI doing to improve its interaction with other federal law enforcement agencies?
The FBI has long believed that cooperation is the backbone of effective law enforcement. Due to limited federal law enforcement resources and increasingly complex criminal organizations, effective and efficient use of resources is essential. The FBI routinely cooperates and works closely with all federal law enforcement agencies on individual joint investigations and through formal task forces that address broad crime problem areas. On December 4, 2001, the Office of Law Enforcement Coordination was created to help improve our coordination and information sharing with state and local law enforcement and public safety agencies.
