Deploying the most sophisticated technologies available, the Technical
Operations Group (TOG) provides investigative and intelligence support for
the USMS and USMS-led fugitive task forces. TOG also provides
assistance when requested by other federal, state, and local law
enforcement agencies to solve complex criminal investigations or crimes of
violence. In recent years, TOG has been delegated as the lead
investigative element in technical surveillance for many high profile
investigations including Rafael Resendez-Ramirez (the Railway Killer),
the escapee known as the Texas Seven, and the Beltway Snipers. There Will Be No Safe Haven For Fugitives |
