High-Tech Cops

About me:

Welcome to the only official MySpace page for the Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force.

The SOHTCTF is a cooperative effort between the Central Point Police Department and the Medford Police Department. The SOHTCTF not only provides high-tech services to their respective communities but to over 33 Federal, State and local agencies across the State of Oregon (some of which include: FBI, DEA, DHS/ICE, DOJ, OSP, BLM).

It is the mission of the Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force to hold accountable those who commit criminal acts through the use of technology and the Internet. We are committed to detecting, identifying and prosecuting individuals who perpetrate high-tech crimes, especially those who target children.

The Task Force is divided into three equally important operational functions to accomplish this mission:

Reactive Investigations – Our Task Force provides expert and professional digital evidence forensic services to multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies using state-of-the-art technology and equipment.

Proactive Investigations – Our Task Force conducts proactive online investigations to identify individuals committing crimes on the Internet. It is our desire to create an atmosphere where law abiding citizens feel safe on the Internet and criminals are deterred and fearful of being apprehended.

Public Education – With the very nature of technology and the World Wide Web, victimization and exploitation via technology is not something that we can completely solve by enforcement actions. Reducing the number of potential victims through public education and community programs is a top priority.
