Written specifically for computer and Internet novices by a “computer guru” for the law enforcement community, this guide explains the basics involved in getting online from the law enforcement perspective. Using a conversational style to explain technical terms in laymen's language, it discusses in detail what kind of computer is needed, how to set it up, which company to use for online access, and what law enforcement resources are available on the Internet. Assumes no prior computer expertise.

• Applicable to the “real world” of law enforcement.

  • Goes beyond the basics of simply getting on line by addressing issues of privacy and security, gathering of intelligence, and developing investigative leads through online activities. Ex.___

• Computer hardware—Explains the technical jargon and abbreviations, and details which features are critical for particular purposes.

  • Enables non-technical users to more knowledgeably peruse catalogs and advertisements for computer hardware and to evaluate the products and determine if what is offered is appropriate for them. Ex.___

• How to configure software—Breaks down the various settings of Outlook Express and Internet Explorer, explaining the function of each, and recommending a setting that is most likely to serve the user's needs. Screenshots of the settings windows themselves allow users to relate what they see on the screen to the book's instructions.

  • Enables students to take better advantage of robust, feature-rich software by manipulating the array of settings and options available to make the programs do what they want, and in the way they want. Ex.___
