Task Forces That Operate Within The Buffalo Division

Buffalo Cyber Task Force

SAFE STREETS TASK FORCE

 During 1994, the Buffalo Division formed the Safe Streets Task Force (SSTF) which is comprised of Agents and officers from the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (BATF), New York State Parole, New York State Police, Amherst Police Department, Erie County Probation Department and the Buffalo Police Department. The task force targets, disrupts and dismantles criminal enterprises in the form of violent street gangs. The Buffalo Division SSTF investigates these gangs through proactive, multi-agency coordinated efforts. These gangs are the most violent criminal gangs and organizations operating in Western New York.

JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE

The Western New York Joint Terrorist Task Force's (JTTF) mission is to prevent, detect, deter, and investigate attacks perpetrated by domestic and international terrorists in the Western District of New York. Founded in 2001, the JTTF investigates the activities of both international and domestic terrorist organizations. The JTTF also investigates all criminal activities, including the acquisition and garnishment of funds, weapons, explosives, false identifications, and other means, undertaken by terrorists to function. Additionally, the JTTF works with all local, state, and federal agencies, as well as the private sector, to establish appropriate responses to terrorist attacks. The JTTF is comprised of investigative personnel from over twenty federal, state and local law enforcement and intelligence community agencies.

HEALTH CARE TASK FORCE

The Buffalo Office established a task force for the purpose of investigating federal health care violations. The Western New York Health Care Fraud Task Force is made up of agencies from The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Health and Human Services, United States Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service, Food and Drug Administration, United States Attorney's Office and the Department of Defense. The Task Force works closely with private insurers and many other local and state law enforcement agencies to combat widespread fraud in the health care industry.
