I'd like to set the stage with the very serious concerns we have in law enforcement about the increasing volume and sophistication of intellectual property crime, then talk about what I believe are the steps we need to take to meet this challenge.
Expertise within the law enforcement community in recognizing counterfeit and pirated goods and learning about the latest traffic patterns, trends, and networks used by criminals, is diffuse and can be quickly outdated.
