§ 15027 Organized Crime Program Divisions

• •The law splits the work to fight organized crime into five main jobs.
• •The five jobs are: 1) Running operations and teaching cops, 2) Gathering secret info, 3) Studying crime info for the future, 4) Looking into crimes, 5) Taking criminals to court.
• •This helps the police work better as a team to stop big crime groups.

Imagine a big gang selling drugs and stealing cars in a city.

The police would use the five jobs like this: 1) Train cops on how to catch the gang (operations and training), 2) Send undercover cops to learn gang secrets (intelligence), 3) Study old gang data to predict their next move (long-range research), 4) Arrest gang members and search their hideouts (investigation), 5) Work with lawyers to put the gang in jail (prosecution).
