Last week in Ohio, officials from three law enforcement agencies announced the creation of a joint multijurisdictional technology crimes task force; the new squad will be responsible for a range of crimes including digital identity theft, child pornography, as well as traditional crimes; with the increasing ubiquity of smartphones and laptops, criminals now leave a trail of digital evidence and investigators must be able to properly process this evidence without corrupting the data; officials hope that the new joint task force will allow the departments to share expertise, conduct training, and win state and federal grants
