The Name of this Task Force is the "North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task Force". The Fort Worth Police Department will assign one Detective for overtime to this Joint Task Force/Operation. The mission of the Task Force will be to develop and assist with criminal investigations and asset forfeitures of illegal activities in the North Texas area. IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) serves the American public by investigating potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code and related financial crimes in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law. IRS CI is comprised of special agents whose investigative jurisdiction includes tax, money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act laws. IRS is the only federal agency that can investigate potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code. As financial investigators, the North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task Force members will fill a unique niche in the federal law enforcement community. Today's sophisticated schemes to defraud the government demand the analytical ability of financial investigators to wade through complex paper and computerized financial records. Along with their financial investigative skills, the North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task Force will use specialized forensic technology to recover financial data that may have been encrypted, password protected, or hidden by other electronic means. Additionally, the North Texas Asset Forfeiture Task Force will investigate and assist in the http://apps.cfwnet.org/council packet/mc_review.asp?ID=14173&councildate=9/28/2010 11/5/2012 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 prosecution of significant financial investigations that will generate the maximum deterrent effect, enhance voluntary compliance, and promote public confidence in the tax system. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, of the Grants Fund.
