Police, students combat cybercrime

Federal Computer Week
BY Colleen O'Hara  July 25, 2002

In an unusual arrangement, Tulsa, Okla., police are teaming up with
students at the University of Tulsa to help investigate and stop
cybercrime. 

Within the next few weeks, the Tulsa police Cyber Crimes Unit is moving
to a new office on the university campus, said Maj.  Lynn Jones, who was
involved in setting up the arrangement before she retired from the Tulsa
Police Department.  "We're looking for some great things to come out of
it," she said at the 2002 Cyber Corps Symposium this week in Tulsa. 

Under the agreement, computer science students will work with the Tulsa
police to help them investigate child pornography, fraud and forgery,
identity theft and other crimes committed via computers, said Detective
Scott Wanzer of the Cyber Crimes Unit. 

The office will be located in a refurbished building on the university
campus and will be staffed by five officers and as many as six students
at a time depending on the project, Wanzer said.  On a daily basis, the
ratio likely will be one officer to one student, he said. 

The arrangement makes sense, Wanzer said.  The student interns gain
real-world experience by learning what a forensic investigator does, and
the officers gain expertise in new software tools, research and
techniques. 

But there are limitations.  Because the students are regular citizens,
"We don't want to draw them into legal matters," which could involve
testifying in court, Wanzer said.  "But if they're working side by side
with us, they can be assisting us in a critical way."

Already, student Tony Meehan, who participates in the Defense
Department's version of the Federal Cyber Service program, has developed
software to help monitor chat rooms.  The tool is in beta version, and
Tulsa detectives are starting to test it, Wanzer said. 

President Bush wants people to help protect the nation against
cyberattacks, but there is not enough money or people to go around, said
Sujeet Shenoi, computer science professor at the University of Tulsa. 
"Why not encourage students to work with state and local agencies?" he
asked.
