The FBI and the LA-ECTF have been working closely together for the past several years in a collaborative effort to combat the rising high-tech crimes that are using the Internet and computers to commit age-old fraud crimes with the new electronic twist.
This move will forge stronger working relationships with federal and local cyber investigative agencies. Current full time members of the task force are the LAPD, LA County Sheriff's Dept, LA County District Attorney's Office, California Highway Patrol, U.S. Secret Service and now the FBI.
With the passage in October 2001...
