About The Knoxville Organized Crime Unit

The Organized Crime Unit is divided into the Narcotics Detail and the Federal Task Force. This section of the Investigative Division is responsible for enforcement of laws pertaining to organized criminal activities. The Organized Crime Unit employs covert tactics and limited electronic surveillance activities to accomplish its goals. This Unit works closely with Federal agencies as well as other local agencies. The use of Federal sentencing guidelines in appropriate cases has allowed the Unit to remove some of our worst violators through lengthy sentences that are not eligible for parole.
