Law Enforcement Today
Since I am a member of the Nevada Highway Patrol I have seen the collaborate efforts between State, Local and federal agencies, so I will write about what I know to be true.

Drug interdiction teams again work with local municipalities, Drug Enforcement Agency and the State District Attorney’s Office. These agencies work hand in hand to target the drug trafficking throughout the state by again working side by side on the highways of Nevada. Funding is typically through the High Density Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has a special detail within its Property Crimes Section called VIPER (Vehicle Investigations Project for Enforcement and Recovery). VIPER is an undercover, multi-jurisdictional auto theft task force focusing on auto theft for profit cases. VIPER is comprised of LVMPD and other local law enforcement agencies. The focus of the task force is mainly organized theft operations, chop shops and vehicle dealerships (or repair shop) inspections. The Fugitive apprehension team works in conjunction with the United States Marshal Service who oversees the nation's regional fugitive task forces. These task forces were established under the Presidential Threat Protection Act of 2000. The purpose of regional fugitive task forces is to combine the efforts of federal, state, and local law...
