The Secret Service’s Electronic Crimes Task Forces combine the resources of academia; the private sector; and local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to combat computer-based threats to our Nation's financial payment systems and critical infrastructures, as authorized by the Patriot Act to “prevent, detect and investigate various forms of electronic crimes, including potential terrorist attacks against critical infrastructure and financial payment systems.” The goal of the Electronic Crimes Task Forces is to establish, promote and continue a robust public/private partnership based on the U.S. Secret Service's historic strategic alliances with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, private industry and academic institutions in order to respond, confront and suppress cybercrime, malicious uses of cyberspace and threats to cyber security that endanger the integrity of our Nation's financial payments systems and threats against our Nation's critical infrastructure.
