Attorney General Requests Funds To Fight Internet Crime In Kansas

Since the United States relies on computers for everyday life, one of our country's fastest-growing forms of crime is Internet crime. Unfortunately, more funds are needed to help attack it and Attorney General Paul Morrison recently requested it.

Morrison is requesting a total of 433,000 dollars to acquire more investigators and officers who specialize in computers and Internet crime. These funds are also needed to provide education for current police officers that are not experts on the subject.

Morrison is only able to use a couple resources, an investigator and a prosecutor, to combat Internet crime. He feels that this is not nearly enough, considering that there are child predators and con artists out there who pose a real threat through the use of the Internet and e-mail.

He also mentioned that when he took his position as Attorney General, there was a complete lack of investigators and officers who specialized in computer crime.

“We are literally spitting on a forest fire,” Morrison mentioned. “There is a massive void that is not being addressed right now.”

The requested funds would also be used to properly inform children and consumers about how to avoid Internet criminals and con artists. The Legislature plans on looking closer at the proposal in January of 2008.
