Investigations

The Cameron County and District Attorney's office strives to prosecute serious crimes in the community while at the same time remains focused on crime prevention efforts. As part of these efforts to make Cameron County a safer place to live, Mr. Villalobos created the Special Operations Group, which specializes in the eradication and disruption of criminal enterprises dealing with narcotics, gambling, organized crime, gang related violence, fugitives and financial crimes.

Moreover, Mr. Villalobos as District Attorney has been granted command and control of the Unified Narcotics Investigative Task Force (U.N.I.T.) U.N.I.T. is a South Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Initiative (H.I.D.T.A.) sponsored by the Cameron County and District Attorney's Office.

U.N.I.T. is comprised of intelligence analysts who provide near real-time, tactical intelligence support for federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies within the southern sector of Texas. Drug related information is collected, analyzed, and processed for support of on-going investigations and prosecution efforts. U.N.I.T. personnel are available to provide local analytical support to all law enforcement agencies.
