The Attorney General’s Criminal Division collaborates with local, State, and federal partners to help combat violence, the opioid epidemic, fraud, corruption, and environmental hazards, and keep Marylanders safe.
The Criminal Division is comprised of three units: the Organized Crime Unit (OCU), the Fraud and Corruption Unit (FCU), and the Environmental and Natural Resources Crimes Unit (ENRCU).
Organized Crime Unit
The Organized Crime Unit handles complex investigations and prosecutions of criminal gang activities, firearms and narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, prison corruption, violent felonies including serial robberies and home invasions, homicides, and more.
Fraud and Corruption Unit
The Fraud and Corruption Unit handles investigations and prosecutions involving fraud and public corruption in Maryland, including bribery, fraud against the state, state employee misconduct, securities fraud, insurance fraud, tax fraud, theft by deception, crimes of exploitation against vulnerable victims, and other criminal violations relating to the integrity of state government and economic justice in courts across Maryland.
Environmental and Natural Resources Crimes Unit
The Environmental and Natural Resources Crimes Unit handles investigations and prosecutions of a wide range of environmental and natural resources crimes throughout Maryland, including individual and corporate defendants in situations where deceptive and willful action or inaction caused or could have caused significant environmental harm, the destruction of natural resources, or substantial risk to public health.
