The Internet, automated teller machines, and credit cards have made life more convenient, but they have also made identity theft more common. Congress enacted the Fair and Accurate Credit Act of 2003 (known as the FACT Act) to help respond to this problem. Still, law enforcement agencies confront challenges when dealing with it. The FACT Act requires local police to provide victims of identity theft with police reports. Jurisdiction issues make many of these cases difficult. For example, the charge on a victim’s credit card account may have been processed in a different state than the one where the victim lives. Law enforcement experts have called for more training to prepare police to handle these cases more effectively.

Which statement best explains the kind of law enforcement response that identity theft requires?

• Victims must contact police in the state where the perpetrator lives.

• State and local police agencies must be organized under federal jurisdiction.

• Police agencies at the federal, state, and local levels must cooperate with each other.

• Local governments must pass their own laws to avoid difficulties with the FACT Act.
