The BJA Electronic and Cyber Crime National TTA Program serves the nation�s communities by providing training and technical assistance to state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials; intelligence analysts; prosecutors; fusion center staff; and other criminal justice entities on preventing, investigating, and responding to electronic, cyber, and high tech crimes. These crimes are committed using networked computers or Internet technology; examples include various kinds of theft (financial, identify, etc.), selling illegal goods using the Internet, cyber stalking, child grooming and child pornography, hijacking accounts on social networking web sites, and hacking (i.e., reconfiguring or reprogramming a system to function in ways not approved by the owner, administrator, or designer). This program is funded under the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program (Byrne Competitive Program) through the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10, division B); Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117, 123 Stat. 3034, 3134). The Byrne Competitive Program helps local communities improve the capacity of state and local justice systems and provides for national support efforts including training and technical assistance programs strategically targeted to address local needs.
