organized crime unit

Mafia investigation team

An organized crime unit is a specialized division within a law enforcement agency that investigates criminal enterprises—operations like drug trafficking, racketeering, money laundering, and extortion run by syndicates or gangs.

These units typically handle cases involving ongoing criminal organizations rather than isolated incidents: The organized crime unit had been tracking the family for years.
