Background:
The Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force (MNFCTF) protects and serves the public by investigating financial crimes related to identity theft, with a special emphasis on organized criminal enterprises. The MNFCTF has a three-pronged approach consisting of prevention, education, and enforcement to combat financial crimes.
The MNFCTF is comprised of multi-jurisdictional law enforcement agencies working together to provide investigative expertise and resources. The MNFCTF works in partnership with local, state, and federal agencies.
The MNFCTF is under the authority of the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety (Minnesota Statute 299A.681). The task force also makes reports to the Financial Crimes Advisory Board which provides advice and direction for items pertaining to MNFCTF initiatives.
This agreement would provide the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office access to investigative tools and resources through the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (MN BCA) to investigate financial crimes occurring within Hennepin County. It would also provide the MN BCA a point-of-contact that they can forward information to for financial crimes occurring within Hennepin County.
The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office will be responsible for its own costs incurred as a result of this agreement.
