GAMING BUREAU
The DCI Gaming Bureau supports local law enforcement efforts
to curtail the spread of illegal gambling within the State of
Wisconsin. The bureau investigates allegations of gaming-related
crime and assists local law enforcement in meeting its
responsibility to enforce the state's gambling laws. The bureau
is also charged with investigating allegations of criminal
activity in existing forms of legal gaming in the State of
Wisconsin.
The Gaming Bureau directs its resources to the gaming
industry's most vulnerable areas and to those gambling
investigations that are of statewide concern.
To accomplish its goals, the Gaming Bureau has trained
Special Agents who have developed relationships with Wisconsin's
local, state and federal law enforcement communities, as well as
with the
Division of Lottery, the
Division
of Gaming, Indian tribes and race tracks. Special agents
within the bureau utilize a network of resources within law
enforcement and within the regulatory structure of the gaming
industry in their investigation of illegal gambling.
