Cybercop Success Stories
Global Communication Recent Story: I have been given a lot of useful information regarding the use of Kazaa, from a wide variety of members, both UK and US, i needed it to put together a small quick powerpoint that could explain to UK magistrates how it works, because of an embarrising 20 minutes trying to explain to a magistrate the other day, who was getting confused between Peer to Peer and ordinary Web Pages. I succeeded eventually.. I have started putting together a powerpoint and hopefully if its any good - later i'll share it with the forum here
Nationwide Communication Recent Story: Our Department's Cold Case Unit needed to locate a witness from a 1978 murder. One of the Cold Case Unit Detectives called me (I work in Intel in the Special Investigations Section) to assist in locating the witness. Through research I was able to determine that the witness had moved out of state, but I had no way of obtaining employment information.
I knew the quickest route to getting the information I needed, as well as my most reliable sources, would be other Law Enforcement/Other agencies around the country. I typed up my request, sent the e-mail through the secure Cybercop portal, and crossed my fingers. Within minutes I started getting replies from around the country! This is one of the many things I love about Cybercop - law enforcement helping law enforcement. The Cybercop community is always willing to assist, and this is why they are my first-line of defense when I need out of state assistance.
Although I learned that my witness was not working, I made some new contacts which is * always * a good thing in our line of work. I currently have another request for information I will be sending to the Cybercop community regarding investigative tools in use across the country. I don't even have to cross my fingers - I know my fellow Cybercoppers will reach out to help!
