The Denver Police Spy Files: FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force

"In connection with the litigation over the Denver Police Department's Spy Files, the ACLU of Colorado obtained documents that indicate that the FBI's Joint Terrorist Task Force (JTTF) has been gathering information and building files on the activities of peaceful protesters who have no connection to terrorism or any other criminal activity.
All around the country, the FBI has set up JTTFs that are staffed with FBI agents as well as detectives from local law enforcement agencies who are assigned to work full-time with the FBI. Detective Tom Fisher of the Denver Police Department's Intelligence Unit has been assigned to the Denver JTTF since 1997. As Detective Fisher explained in a statement signed in connection with the Spy Files case, his only responsibilities as a law enforcement officer since 1997 have been as part of the FBI's JTTF. Detective Donald Estep of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is also assigned to the Denver JTTF.
The following documents from the Denver police department's Spy Files provide a peek into the secretive world of the JTTF and the kind of information it has been collecting about peaceful First Amendment activities. . ."
