- Rural narcotic investigations.
- Border violations (drugs, weapons, illegal immigrants).
- Investigation of gang activities in rural areas.
- Protection of sensitive facilities and sites (DOE, dams, power plants, closed Federal land, etc.)
- Hazardous waste dumping.
- Natural resources investigation (Oregon loses millions in cedar and hardwoods each year)
- Poaching.
- Rural crime task forces.
- Executive/dignitary protection (PSD).
- Rustling and cattle theft.
- Reconnaissance, intelligence and surveillance.
- Search and rescue.
- Wildlife research projects.

"Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, even unconsciously, will serve as silent witness against him. Not only his fingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothing, the glass he breaks, the took mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, the blood or semen he deposits or collects. All of these and more bear mute witness against him. This is evidence that does not forget. It is not confused by the excitement of the moment. It is not absent because human witnesses are, it is factual evidence, physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself; it cannot be wholly absent, only its interpretation can err. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value."
Paul L. Kirk, 1974
