Mission

“The mission of the Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force is to increase public safety by combatting gang violence, major violent crimes, illegal firearms possession, and the dangerous effects of illegal drugs within Southern Alameda County.”

Overview

The Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force (SACMCTF) was established in 2010, created by the merger of the Southern Alameda County Narcotic Enforcement Team (SACNET) and the Southern Alameda County Gang Violence Suppression Task Force (SACGVSTF). The merger reflected the expanding responsibilities of the task force and the force multiplying efforts of participating law enforcement agencies.

SACMCTF is governed by a Coordination Committee consisting of executive management from each of the participating agencies. SACMCTF consists of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies whose focus is to investigate major violent crimes with an emphasis on gang and drug crimes. SACMCTF proactively works to mitigate gun violence by identifying and apprehending offenders who engage in crimes using firearms. SACMCTF operates throughout the Bay Area with a focus on the Southern Alameda County region. The Task Force is hosted and located within the Fremont Police Department.

The Major Crimes Task Force Unit is comprised of one Sergeant and six detectives from the following agencies:

Alameda County Probation Department
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
California Highway Patrol
Fremont Police Department
Newark Police Department

One detective is responsible for our community camera program. This includes, partnering with vendors and businesses, providing maintenance and troubleshooting of equipment, and advising and assisting officers with the retrieval of video footage to assist investigations.

Five detectives focus on particular crime trends and issues, as well as offenders causing the greatest harm in our community.

FAQs

If I have an emergency regarding gang or drug crimes, should I call the Task Force or 9-1-1?

For any emergency situations, call 9-1-1 for an immediate response from patrol personnel. The Task Force will be contacted by the appropriate agency regarding the incident and will follow up with the investigation.
What kind of services does the Task Force offer?

The Task Force responds to assist patrol personnel when major gang or drug crimes are involved. Additionally, the Task Force is responsible for gang violence suppression, disrupting drug operations, marijuana cultivation investigations, and drug lab investigations.
Why does the Task Force cover such a large area instead of focusing on their on city?

All Task Force detectives are specially trained in investigating major gang and drug crimes. These types of crimes often travel outside of the individual cities' jurisdictions. By combining the resources of each participating agency, the Task Force is able to function as a self-contained unit capable of responding to various jurisdictions to investigate these crimes.
