American Teens Against Crime




ATAC is a top secret government agency co-founded by Fenton Hardy . He created it when he realized that there are some places where an adult Spy (a FBI or CIA agent) would stand out too much. Because of this the FBI has on at least one occasion relied on ATAC to solve a case. The very first ATAC agents were Fenton’s sons, Frank and Joe . The agency sends their agents a Video Game disc with details on their latest mission; after the disc has been viewed it reformats into regular music CD .

ATAC has a secret handshake that only agents know, it goes like this: two hard up-and-down shakes followed by a wrist-grab, then a fist-touch, and one last up-and-down sake. In Mission #4 ''Thrill Ride'' Joe used this hand-shake when they first met Vijay Patel, to make share he was a real member of ATAC.

Fenton no longer runs ATAC himself; a man that simply goes by Q (sometimes Q.T.) is the current Director of the agency. In the Graphic Novel adaptation of the series, Nigel Penhurst is also a top man at ATAC.
