Violent Crimes
The Cleveland Division Violent Crimes/Major Offenders
(VCMO) Program agents investigate
Violent Street Gangs, Crimes Against Children, Innocent Images National Initiative,
Kidnappings, Violent Incident Crimes, i.e. Bank Robbery, Bank Burglaries, Fugitives, Major Thefts and
Transportation Crimes.
The Division currently oversees five Safe Streets Violent Crimes Task Forces in
Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Toledo and Youngstown. The mission of these Task Forces is to
attack street gangs and drug related violence, as well as seek the most significant
fugitives wanted for crimes of violence through the establishment of long-term, proactive
and coordinated teams of federal, state and local law enforcement officers and
prosecutors.
Select fugitives sought by the Cleveland/Cuyahoga Fugitive Task Force may be seen each
Monday in the Plain Dealer newspaper’s "Most Wanted" column, and
occasionally on CBS affiliate stations WOIO-TV 19/WUAB-TV 43 "Crime Stoppers".
