IOC-2

IOC-2 is an acronym for the International Organized Crime Intelligence and Operations Center. The Center, operated by the CCIPS in coordination with the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section ("OCRS") and other federal agencies, is working to develop and implement a mechanism to address intelligence gaps as they relate to IP, among other things. The IOC-2, which was formally established on May 26, 2009, is the first multi-agency body within the U.S. government to bring partner agencies together to combat international organized crime.

IOC-2 collects, synthesizes, and disseminates information and intelligence from multiple sources to enable federal law enforcement to prioritize and target the individuals and organizations that pose the greatest international organized crime threat to the United States. Understanding that international criminal organizations are profit-driven, IOC-2 also helps investigators and prosecutors to target the criminal proceeds and assets.
