Each task force member is certified as an expert in this field so they can testify in court, Ketterer said. The task force is composed of two detectives for the attorney general s office, a Lewiston police officer, a Brunswick police officer, and a state police officer. Each was made a detective of the attorney general s office so that they have statewide jurisdiction, Ketterer said. The detectives received about 300 hours of training from the National White Collar Crime Center in West Virginia. There already have been 22 computer crime investigations performed.
Officials hope to open three branches of the task force.
