Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Investigating computer crime often requires a team approach.
• The FBI's Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) helps state and local law enforcement as well as federal agents. CART helps write and execute search warrants, seize and catalog evidence, and perform routine examinations of digital evidence.
• Working in partnership with state, local, federal, and international law enforcement agencies, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has developed the National Cybercrime Training Partnership (NCTP) to develop and promote a long-range strategy for high-tech police work, including interagency and interjurisdictional cooperation, information networking, and technical training; to garner public and political understanding of the problem and generate support for solutions; and to serve as a proactive force to focus the momentum of the entire law enforcement community to ensure that proposed solutions are fully implemented.
• Another resource to help law enforcement handle computer crimes is the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The IC3 provides cybercrime victims a convenient, user-friendly reporting mechanism that notifies authorities of suspected violations.
• The U.S. Secret Service (USSS) has established a nationwide network of Electronic Crimes Task Forces (ECTFs). The ECTF network brings together federal, state, and local law enforcement, as well as prosecutors, private industry, and academia. The common purpose is the prevention, detection, mitigation, and aggressive investigation of attacks on the nation's financial and critical infrastructures
• The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the DOJ maintains a Web resource for law enforcement and is a one-stop resource for everything related to computer crime. The site offers a collection of documents and links to other sites and agencies that may help prevent, detect, investigate, and prosecute cybercrime.
• Other resources include the Computer Crime Research Center and the Electronic
Evidence Information Center.
