Specialized police forces are units created to tackle specific types of crimes or situations requiring advanced expertise. These forces often operate within existing police departments, focusing on areas like cybercrime, counterterrorism, and financial offenses. Cybercrime units investigate online fraud, hacking, and digital threats, while anti-terrorism squads counter potential terrorist activities through intelligence gathering and rapid response. Economic Offenses Wings (EOW) address complex financial crimes like money laundering and corporate fraud.
Specialized units bring advanced skills and resources to law enforcement, ensuring that specific crimes are addressed with the precision and expertise they demand. These units often collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies to ensure effective outcomes.
