The CCRSB is responsible for investigating [[financial crime]], [[white-collar crime]], [[violent crime]], [[organized crime]], [[public corruption]], violations of individual [[civil rights]], and drug-related crime.

CCRSB works in conjunction with other federal, state, and regional agencies from 56 field offices and at the [[National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force]] (NCIJTF).<ref name="HLS Senate">{{cite web|last1=Anderson, Jr|first1=Robert|title=Cybersecurity, Terrorism, and Beyond: Addressing Evolving Threats to the Homeland|url=http://www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/cybersecurity-terrorism-and-beyond-addressing-evolving-threats-to-the-homeland|website=Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs|publisher=U.S. Senate, 113th Congress, Second Session|access-date=20 November 2014}}</ref> CCRSB operates a 24-hour cyber command center (CyWatch) where they combine the resources of the FBI and NCIJTF. In the event of a significant cyber intrusion, they provide connectivity to [[federal cyber center]]s, government agencies, FBI field offices, legal attachés, and the private sector. They also exchange information about cyber threats with the private sector through partnerships such as the [[Domestic Security Alliance Council]], [[InfraGard]], and the [[National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance]] (NCFTA).<ref name="HLS Senate" /> CCRSB maintains overseas legal attaché offices to coordinate cyber investigations and address jurisdictional hurdles and differences in law with other countries while collaborating with cyber crime centers at [[Interpol]] and [[Europol]].<ref name="HLS Senate" /> The unit maintains a website called Cyber Shield Alliance (www.leo.gov)<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.leo.gov/ |title=Law Enforcement Online |date=September 7, 2014 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907005923/http://www.leo.gov/ |archive-date=7 September 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> which provides access to cyber training and information for the public, and the means to report cyber incidents to the FBI.<ref name="HLS Senate" /> The FBI reports that since 2002, they have seen an 80 percent increase in the number of computer intrusion investigations.<ref name="HLS Senate" /> ==Leadership== Headed by an FBI executive assistant director, the CCRSB is responsible to the [[FBI Director]] through the [[Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation|Deputy Director]].
