Safe Trails Task Force
On March 3, 1994, the
FBI initiated "Operation Safe Trails" with the Navajo Department of Law Enforcement,
in Flagstaff, Arizona. The purpose of the operation, which would later evolve
into the Safe Trails Task Force (STTF) program, was to unite the FBI with
other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. STTF participating agencies include the FBI, Drug Enforcement Adminstration, Bureau
of Indian Affairs, Tribal police departments, and state and local law enforcement
agencies. These Safe Trails Task Forces combine their resources in an effective
manner to address crimes that would normally be under addressed or unaddressed
without the STTF. There are currently 18 STTFs funded by the FBI:
