Section deputies coordinate with teams of legal, auditing, and law enforcement professionals and handle every stage of investigation and prosecution from referral to jury trial, and may be tasked to assist multiagency task forces, such as the Tax Recovery in the Underground Economy (TRUE) task force, and other law enforcement agencies.

Deputies are required to travel to fully participate in investigations and prosecutions in multiple jurisdictions as well as participate in on-call rotations for response to officer-involved shootings.
