Crime prevention is enhanced when law enforcement agencies are willing
Crime prevention is enhanced when law enforcement agencies are willing to work together rather than operate as separate entities. While dealing with egos, attitudes, and turf protection has its challenges, successful law enforcement recognizes the need for collaboration. For example, such efforts have been manifested by the creation of federal Task Force Operations (TFO) that include representatives from local and state law enforcement agencies working side-by-side with federal agents in investigating and apprehending criminals. In recent years, cases of human trafficking, drug smuggling, and child exploitation have been investigated by various law enforcement task forces.
