What is Cybersnitch?

Cybersnitch^R is The World's Most Advanced Internet Crime Reporting System. Over the course of its implementation, Cybersnitch has become an international phenomenon and has revolutionized the way computer crime is investigated worldwide.

As its primary mission, Cybersnitch^R has been developed for the public, as a voluntary online crime reporting system enabling the public to take action against all crimes that occur using computer technology and the Internet. Cybersnitch places the everyday person directly in touch with law enforcement.

The growth rate of people using the the Internet is astounding and is showing no signs of slowing down. Even now, we see dramatic changes in technology that show signs of making technology and the Internet more useful and present in all our lives. But with this technology also comes risk. Unfortunately, those who seek to take advantage of others using technology do not show signs of stopping. This is becoming more and more apparent each and every day.

This growth in use of technology means that law enforcement officials need help in combatting Internet and computer related crimes.

Online Crime Reporting Facts you should consider

• Most Internet and computer crimes today are reported to law enforcement departments with few or limited resources or needed tools and training to properly investigate computer and Internet crimes (note Cyber Enforcement Resources, our parent company, is solving this problem as well).

• Many law enforcement agencies are making their presence known on the Internet to receive crime reports in a way similar to the manner Cybersnitch does. However they do not have the personnel to handle the sheer volume of complaints they receive. Many complaints never get seen!

• Some agencies receiving crime reports via the Internet will automatically discard some reports if they do not meet a certain criteria! Some factors considered are "type of crime", "dollar amount lost", and "number of people involved".

• Some online organizations receiving crime reports via the Internet place your sensitive information in the hands of workers have no right to handle your report! When you make your report, your information may be read and handled by secretaries, assistants, attorneys and other non-sworn and unqualified personnel. Who knows how they will handle your sensitive information by the time it gets to a legitimate law enforcement officer.

• Then there are those organizations, who despite having good and sincere motives, are completely unable to properly handle the investigation of your report. They commonly lack the proper training and experience, and in some cases, the authority to properly investigate your report. As a result, the one who should be in jail remains free and on the Internet to continue their exploits, This is something we have seen again and again.

Cybersnitch is the answer.
