CATCH is a multi-agency task force that apprehends and prosecutes criminals who use technology to prey on citizens. CATCH was formed combining local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies from San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties. CATCH cases are vertically prosecuted meaning the same prosecutor handles the case from start to finish. Cooperation between CATCH, other high-tech task forces, and the private sector industry is critical to the success of combating high-tech crimes.
