DeKalb County recently agreed to a deal that allows county police officers to work with the FBI's Safe Streets Task Force.

The group works to identify and prosecute criminals and organized gangs responsible for murder, drug trafficking, money laundering and other violent crimes. The task force also works to apprehend fugitives.

The deal does not require any funding from the county.
