Police also need to be aware of some pitfalls and issues. The information available on the Internet is wide ranging, but it is rarely very detailed. However, the Internet is a useful place to start gathering general information about a topic. Visiting the web sites of fringe groups and specialized interest organizations can give law enforcement a solid foundation of knowledge, so that officers can ask the right questions when interviewing experts or members of the group. The Internet is also a useful tool for finding people and for conducting research on corporations. The search engines on the Internet all have good and bad points; investigators should use multiple search engines and multiple searches. They should also verify the information from sources outside the Internet. The Internet will continue to become more a part of people's daily lives and will also become more integral to law enforcement operations. The Internet will also be the crime community of the future; therefore police need to be aware of and able to deal with the kinds of crime committed partly or totally on the Internet. Photographs
