Police merging with Internet giants

I read a refreshing article. Interpol has teamed up with Trend Micro and Kaspersky Lab to help tackle cyber-crime. This marriage of Interpol with these Internet giants will supply Interpol with a digital forensic laboratory for identifying and combating cyber crimes, they will also provide training. Trend will share its threat information analysis with Interpol to assist the world police body to investigate, deter and prevent cyber-crime, with Kaspersky providing its products, intelligence and ongoing support. Previously Kaspersky have partnered with the city of London police to assist them in tackling cyber-crime.
            This is a great step in the fight against cyber crimes. I hope this merger of these Internet giants and Interpol spawn a trend that police agencies around the US can follow. It would be of great benefit if Microsoft or IBM, provide some form of training course to assist police and law enforcement officers in the cyber battle.
