Field Operations Bureau
The 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. Additionally,
supervisors and staff work at the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area
(HIDTA) in Milwaukee, the Lake Winnebago Area Multi-Agency Enforcement
Group (LWAM) in the Fox Valley region and the Wisconsin Statewide
Information Center (The state’s intelligence fusion center) in Madison.
Special Agents and civilian staff work closely with local, county and
federal partners investigating crimes of statewide significance or
importance.
DCI Special Agents, Criminal Analysts and Support Staff work as a team to
investigate crimes involving homicide, arson, financial crimes, illegal gaming,
multi-jurisdictional crimes, drug trafficking, computer crimes, homeland security,
human trafficking, government corruption and crimes against children.
The Field Operations Bureau is divided into Eastern and Western Regions consistent
with the geographical areas of the Eastern and Western United States District Courts.
Each region is 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
Director oversees the state’s high profile drug programs and specialized investigative
task forces such as the Drug Endangered Children’s program (DEC), the Cannabis Eradication
and Suppression Effort (CEASE), the Methamphetamine Clandestine Lab Enforcement and
Response (CLEAR) task force, the Human Trafficking Task Force and the Mortgage Fraud
Investigative Task Force.
The Western Region is comprised of the larger geographical area of the state and includes the
Madison, Eau Claire, Superior and Wausau Regional Field Offices. The
Western Region also includes the critically important State Fire
Marshal’s Office and the award winning Cold Case Homicide Unit. The
