FIELD OPERATIONS BUREAUThe Field Operations Bureau is responsible for the majority of investigative resources deployed throughout the state by the DCI. The DCI has Regional Field Offices in the cities of Madison, Milwaukee, Appleton, Eau Claire, Superior and Wausau. Special Agents and civilian staff work closely with local, county, state and federal partners investigating crimes of statewide significance or importance. DCI Special Agents, Criminal Analysts and Support Staff investigate crimes involving homicide, arson, financial & white collar crimes, illegal gaming, multi-jurisdictional crimes, drug trafficking, computer crimes, homeland security, human trafficking, public integrity & government corruption as well as crimes against children. The Field Operations Bureau is divided into Eastern and Western Regions, with each region commanded by a Bureau Director. Additionally, several specialized units are assigned to respective regions for oversight purposes. The Eastern Region is comprised of the Milwaukee and Appleton Regional Field Offices, as well as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) and the Lake Winnebago Area Multi-Agency Enforcement Group (LWAM). Additionally, the Eastern Region oversees the state’s high profile drug programs such as the Drug Endangered Children’s program (DEC), the Cannabis Eradication and Suppression Effort (CEASE) and the Methamphetamine Clandestine Lab Enforcement and Response (CLEAR) task force. The Western Region is comprised of the Madison, Eau Claire, Superior and Wausau Regional Field Offices. The Western Region also includes the critically important Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Statewide Task Force and the DCI Computer and Electronic Forensics sections. Additionally, the Western Region oversees The Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC) which is the state’s intelligence fusion center, the DCI Tactical Response Team and the Mobile Support Unit. Wisconsin Statewide Information Center The WSIC serves as the primary intelligence-gathering entity for the State of Wisconsin, working with state, county, local, military and federal agencies. WSIC coordinates sophisticated intelligence gathering efforts statewide, and produces intelligence briefings for the Governor, Attorney General, Adjutant General, top law enforcement officials and partner agency heads throughout Wisconsin. WSIC also serves as the Wisconsin liaison for INTERPOL, which promotes mutual assistance among international law enforcement authorities in the prevention of international crimes. For additional information, law enforcement officers can access the WSIC site through WILENET. Technical Services Unit Through DCI, the Wisconsin Department of Justice provides covert surveillance investigative support to criminal investigations of all types. The purpose is to provide specialized investigative services to Wisconsin law enforcement agencies. Special agents from the Technical Services Unit install and operate the equipment necessary to gather information on criminal activity. Assistance is available to all law enforcement agencies for nearly all forms of felony criminal investigations. DCI investigative involvement in the case, beyond provision of technical services, is not required. Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing & Exploited Children & Adults The Wisconsin Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children and Adults serves as a resource for both law enforcement and families in investigating cases involving missing and exploited children and adults. The Wisconsin Clearinghouse works in conjunction with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and forms part of a nationwide network that works to reunite missing and abducted children with their families. The Clearinghouse also coordinates Wisconsin's Amber Alert Plan in an effort to enhance law enforcement's ability to respond effectively and efficiently when a child has been abducted, in the hope of preventing the victimization of children in Wisconsin.
