In this complex, globalized, post 9/11-world,
our operational partnerships have never been more
important to our efforts to protect your communities.
 Today,
we work with colleagues at every level of government—local,
state, federal, even international—across the
law enforcement, intelligence, and first responder
communities. We lead and take part in multi-agency
task forces, intelligence groups and fusion centers,
and public and private sector alliances. A number of
our partners literally sit shoulder-to-shoulder with
us in FBI space, just as we share our agents and analysts
with other agencies. We work closely on joint investigations—sometimes
taking the lead, sometimes taking a back seat to others,
sometimes contributing equally among many agencies.
Our work with our colleagues, in fact, is so intertwined
today that it’s often nearly impossible to separate
the contributions of one agency—and one nation—from
the next.
In Sacramento, our major partnerships include:
-
The Sacramento
Joint Terrorism Task Force brings together representatives
of 40 local, state, and federal
agencies to run down any and all terrorism leads,
develop and investigate cases, provide support
for special
events, and proactively identify threats that may
impact the area and the nation. We also have satellite
Joint
Terrorism Task Forces working out of Fresno and
Bakersfield.
-
 The Sacramento
Field Intelligence Group, a team of FBI agents and analysts
who provide a full range
of intelligence support on terrorism and criminal
threats, combines with the multi-agency Regional
Terrorism Threat
Assessment Center to form the Central California
Intelligence Center, which supports law enforcement
and intelligence
partners in 34 counties across the state.
- We participate in the FBI Counterintelligence Strategic Partnerships Program, which builds relationships between private industry, academia, government agencies, the FBI, and its counterintelligence community partners to identify and protect projects of great importance to the U.S. government.
-
To
battle cyber crime, we have a number of key
partnerships:
-
Our Cyber
Crime Task Forces in Sacramento and Fresno bring
together
local, state, and federal experts to
combat computer intrusions, viruses,
and other cyber threats.
-
We are one of
more than 30 government agencies that participate
in the Sacramento
Valley Hi-Tech Crimes
Task Force ,
which focuses on the spread
of computer/high-
technology crimes, telecommunications
fraud, crimes against children,
identity thefts, and the recovery/analysis
of digital
evidence.
-
Our Sexual
Assault Felony Enforcement Team (S.A.F.E.) is a multi-agency
task
force that
combats
crimes involving the sexual exploitation
of children. One of the most
successful preventative
measures
has been posing as teenagers
in online undercover operations
to catch
predators before they
strike.
-
The Sacramento
InfraGard Chapter is the local arm
a national
information-sharing
alliance between
private industry, academia, and
government focused
on protecting critical
national
infrastructures in both the
online and offline worlds.
-
We also lead or take
part in several major partnerships
targeting violent crime:
-
Our Sacramento
Violent Crimes Task Force combines detectives
from the
Sacramento County Sheriff’s
Department and our special agents to pool
expertise and resources in targeting street
gangs and violent
criminals of all kinds.
-
Our Violent
Fugitive Gang and Sex Predator Safe Streets
Task
Force in Sacramento works
to round up violent
fugitives, including gang members and
sexual predators.
-
We lead the Solano
County Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force
in our Fairfield resident agency and the Kern
County Violent Crime Task Force in our Bakersfield
resident agency.
- In 2006, we joined the California Department
of Justice’s Division of Gambling Control
in creating the Sacramento Indian Gaming Safe
Trails Task Force. The task force, which now
includes a dozen task force officers, investigates
illegal gambling and related activities in 32
Indian casinos in Northern California.
