ORGANIZED CRIME TASK FORCE (OCTF):
The Attorney General's Statewide Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) was established by the Legislature in 1970 through the enactment of section 70-a of the Executive Law. The Task Force was given the responsibility to investigate and prosecute multi-county, multi-state, and multi-national organized criminal activities occurring within New York State. The Task Force works closely with local, state and federal enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute organized criminal activities such as loan sharking, gambling rings, narcotic trafficking, racketeering and money laundering. OCTF specializes in identifying emerging and existing organized crime enterprises and, through a broad array of civil and criminal enforcement techniques, seeks to undermine their structure, influence and presence within the state. OCTF’s staff is small, consisting statewide of fourteen attorneys and sixty investigators.
