Protect Law Enforcement Task Forces Act

This bill would write into law the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), a Justice Department program that brings federal, state, and local law enforcement together to investigate drug trafficking and transnational organized crime. Within 180 days, the Attorney General, working with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Departments of the Treasury, Homeland Security, Labor, and State and the Postal Service, would have to structure OCDETF to use a prosecutor-led, multi-agency approach. Within one year, these agencies would have to send a joint report on the task forces to six congressional committees, and post the unclassified portion on their public websites. The law would end on January 20, 2029.
