Thank you for visiting the homepage for the Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force. What first began as the Central Point Police Department's High-Tech Crimes Unit in 2005 has evolved into a multi-jurisdictional regional task force. The task force is a cooperative effort between the City of Central Point Police Department, the City of Medford Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the City of Ashland Police Department, the City of Grants Pass Department of Public Safety, the City of Klamath Falls Police Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Jackson County District Attorneys Office.
Our task force is equally divided into three components; proactive investigations, reactive services, and public education. Proactive investigations include online undercover operations, stings, and the identification of individuals involved in cyber crime. Reactive services involve the forensic analysis of digital media, research, and development, providing consultation in the area of electronic evidence, courtroom testimony, and many others. Public education is a primary focus of our task force and we conduct several public education events each month. Our task force instructs law enforcement officers and prosecutors in the area of high-tech crimes, teaches parents and children about Internet safety and sexual predators, and the community about topics such as online identity theft prevention.
