This is a big problem. A hacker is someone that tends to have a lot of skill. A digital law enforcement officer will have to be highly skilled. Highly skilled people can demand quite a bit of money. Most law enforcement agencies can't afford to spend that kind of money. That almost guarantees that the allocation of funds for digital law enforcement will happen at the federal level. The problem with that is that there may not be enough digital police to get the job done. Another problem is the scene of the crime. In the real world, the police can inspect the scene of the crime, dust for fingerprints, etc. I highly doubt that a major corporation is going to allow an outsider to inspect the scene of a computer crime. Add to that the paranoia about computer crime and that nobody wants to admit that it has happened to them, and you get next to no solution. Maybe it will get to the point that companies will have to hire a code slinger to fight at okcorral.com for them. Jim
