Why would intellectual property theft fit the mission of private technology security and possibly be more applicable than it is to law enforcement? A. Private security firms specialize in a wide range of areas and crime, which often require more manpower and time than law enforcement has to give.
Law enforcement has sought to transfer authority at the federal level for technology crimes to come under the purview of private security firms.
Private security officers simply have more technological training than law enforcement.
O Law enforcement does not tend to get involved in white-collar crime.
