Multi-Agency Operation Coordination Model

PROBLEM: Operation Cooked brought together nine agencies — a sheriff's office, a statewide prosecution office, three more sheriff's offices, two city police departments, and Homeland Security Investigations. Nine agencies can run one operation or nine parallel ones, and the difference is a coordination model that says who leads, who assists, and who holds the case file.

SOLUTION: A multi-agency operation coordination model: every joint operation modeled in the cloud with its lead agency, each assisting agency's role, the prosecution path, and the single case-file owner — so nine agencies work one operation instead of nine.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Operation Cooked's nine agencies (WFTV citing the sheriff's office, via The Florida Press, Oct 9, 2026): Osceola County Sheriff's Office; Office of Statewide Prosecution; Orlando Police Department; Orange County Sheriff's Office; Polk County Sheriff's Office; Columbia County Sheriff's Office; St. Cloud Police Department; Lake City Police Department; Homeland Security Investigations.
