This isn’t your normal task force.
In fact, the FBI is calling it the Hybrid Task Force, and its goal is to pursue drug dealers and violent criminals, KMOX reports.
“The task force has two focuses,” St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said. “One is an interdiction piece that long term investigation to try and interrupt some of the drugs that are coming to town. And the other is a more rapid response to violence.”
Dotson credited the FBI for assembling the resources to make the team possible.
The members come from an impressive array of agencies – FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Attorney’s Office and several local prosecutors.
The task force all be formally introduced on July 20.
