Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week. The Joint Terrorism Task Force Annex is located at Boston’s Logan International Airport. It’s made up of FBI agents and representatives from seven other agencies, including…
Davis: We have members from the Federal Air Marshal Service, Diplomatic Security Service - U.S. State Department, Boston Police Department, Customs and Border Patrol…
Halpern: Supervisory Special Agent Bradley Davis oversees the operation of the annex. He says having the resources of multiple agencies under one roof facilitates information sharing.

Mollie Halpern: Violent crime in the United States is down for the fourth year in a row. I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week.
The FBI’s annual Crime in the United States report shows violent crimes in 2010 dropped 6 percent compared to the previous year’s figure. Property crime also decreased for the eighth straight year, falling 2.7 percent. David Cuthbertson, the assistant director of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division…
David Cuthbertson: I think you could attribute the reduction in crime across the board to very effective policing. This country has very, very effective law enforcement at the state, local, federal, and tribal level.
Halpern: The FBI compiles the data from more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies from across the country.
Cuthbertson: The FBI, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners, certainly will not rest on our laurels as we see crime go down. We will continue the fight to make this country as safe as we possibly can.
Halpern: For more information, visit www.FBI.gov. That’s what’s happening at the FBI, This Week.

Mollie Halpern: It’s an FBI white-collar crime case involving a family business that exploited people’s faith, trust, and hope.
Daniel Hemmersmeier: There was no underlying business, just a massive fraud.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is Gotcha. Roy Flucker, Jr. and his son and daughter targeted African-Americans at churches to market his business. Special Agent Daniel Hemmersmeier…
Hemmersmeier: People really believed that Mr. Flucker was a religious person and that he would never be out to hurt them.
Halpern: But, that’s exactly what he did to nearly 2,000 victims in Chicago and across the country who were bilked out of $10.7 million. Flucker promised people a 200 percent profit in one year for investing in his company’s financial program. The company’s housing program purportedly provided a way for people to own their own homes within five years. In reality…
Hemmersmeier: They didn’t make the necessary payments to pay off anyone’s home.
Halpern: An FBI forensic accountant examined the company’s bank accounts. The Bureau and its law enforcement partners gathered evidence that landed Flucker and his children in jail. This is the FBI’s closed case of the week.
