Administrative History
Chapter 1003, Section 2 of the Laws of 1970 created the Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) as a means to increase resources and to fill jurisdictional gaps related to fighting organized crime in New York State. The OCTF prosecutes multi-county, multi-state, and multi-national organized criminal activities happening within New York State. Most OCTF cases involve long-term investigations conducted in partnership with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, including crimes related to narcotics trafficking, loan sharking, racketeering, and money laundering. The Task Force is headed by an executive director appointed jointly by the Governor and the Attorney General.
