Here's Yahoo News on the situation: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100427/ts_ynews/ynews_ts1816

Money quote: "In a statement, the Santa Clara County DA confirmed our report yesterday that Apple sits on the steering committee of the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT) Task Force, a coalition of 17 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies created in 1997 to combat high-tech crimes (the Santa Clara County DA's office is the task force's lead agency)."

And: "Apple Inc. has provided "advice, recommendations, strategic input, and direction"..."

That can mean a lot of things, but "high level advisor" is certainly among the most obvious interpretations here.
