Final Paper: Cyber Crime Task Force Plan

Scenario: You have been an investigator for the St. Louis Police Department for many years. Recent surges in cybercrime have caused your police department to consider developing a cyber-crime task force to combat the rising number of cyber thefts in St. Louis County jurisdictions. The police commissioner recognizes that you are a top investigator and appoints you to lead the new cyber-crime task force. The commissioner says to you “Build a cyber-crime task force. Tell us [a] what the greatest cyber threats are, [b] what you need to establish a cyber-crime task force, and [c] what legislation we should push for to stop these cybercrimes.”

In eight to ten double-spaced pages, (excluding the title page and reference page) develop a cyber-crime task force plan for St. Louis County in Missouri.
