The FBI cautions parents of kindergarten through high school students of the potential safety and privacy risks associated with education technologies, or EdTech


Audio Transcript

Mollie Halpern: The FBI cautions parents of kindergarten through high school students of the potential safety and privacy risks associated with education technologies, or EdTech. 
The growing incorporation of devices and software into school systems facilitates learning.
It also includes the collection of student data such as …
Lynn: … Social Security numbers, academic records, any kind of disciplinary records, medical histories …
Halpern: That was Lynn, an FBI intelligence analyst who says if cyber criminals gain access to that sensitive data, then it could be exploited in many ways.
Lynn: In addition to financial exploitation, another concern we have is the use of that information for sexual exploitation or even cyber bullying.
Halpern: To help prevent these crimes, the FBI recommends that families …
Lynn: … conduct regular Internet searches of their children's information to see if there's any social media profiles, financial information, or even photos that really shouldn't be there.
Halpern: Learn more at ic3.gov. With FBI, This Week, I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau.

FBI - Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Report, 2011:


Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Report, 2011

11/23/2012
Mollie Halpern: An FBI report shows that 72 law enforcement officers made the ultimate sacrifice in the United States and Puerto Rico in 2011.
David Cuthbertson: We had 16 more officers die in the line of duty than we did in 2010.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau and this is FBI, This Week. Most of the officers were killed with firearms during arrest situations. Their average age was 38 and they had served for about 12 years at the time of their deaths. David Cuthbertson is the Assistant Director of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division…
Cuthbertson: The LEOKA report provides us a somber reminder that every day thousands of law enforcement officers are on the street protecting us against criminals. That protection does not come for free—it does come at a cost.
Halpern: The FBI uses the report to form the basis of our officer safety awareness training courses.
Cuthbertson: In the last four years, the FBI has provided the officer safety awareness training courses to over 54,000 public safety professionals…in the U.S. and abroad.

11/02/2012
Mollie Halpern: The FBI’s 2011 Crime in the United States Report shows that violent crimes, such as murder and rape, dropped for the fifth year in a row. They decreased 3.8 percent when compared with 2010.
David Cuthbertson: Property crimes declined for the ninth consecutive year. They were reduced approximately .5 percent compared with 2010.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern, and this is FBI, This Week. Crime in the U.S. is a statistical compilation of reported crimes voluntarily provided to the FBI by more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide. It shows what crimes were reported in specific areas. David Cuthbertson, the assistant director of the Criminal Justice Information Services, cautions against using the data to rank the safety of cities.
Cuthbertson: Many socio-economic factors go into whether a community is considered safe or not.
Halpern: The data can impact FBI resources…
Cuthbertson: Our special agents in charge in the field will use Crime in the United States to help them decide where to deploy our resources in conjunction with the already existing FBI priorities.

Next Generation Cyber

10/26/2012
Mollie Halpern: The FBI is enhancing its capabilities to combat the nation’s most serious cyber threat—criminals, spies, and terrorists breaking into government and private computer networks.
Richard A. McFeely: The intrusions are occurring 24/7, 365 days a year.
Halpern: I’m Mollie Halpern, and this is FBI, This Week. As part of its Next Generation Cyber Initiative, the FBI is dedicating more resources and building new tools to counter the threat. We’re also hiring more computer scientists and expanding a network of local cyber task forces. FBI Executive Assistant Director Richard McFeely says virtually everyone connected to the Internet will at some point have their computer attacked. He urges businesses to report intrusions to the FBI; for private citizens he advises:
McFeely: There is plenty of off-the-shelf antivirus software. You’ve got to have good firewalls set up, and make sure you’re downloading those security updates.
Halpern: October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. For more tips on how to protect your wired and wireless devices, visit www.fbi.gov.

FBI Forensic Accountants

08/24/2012
Mollie Halpern: The FBI is tackling increasingly complex financial crimes with the use of its forensic accountant program.
I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week.
The nearly 400 forensic accountants in the Bureau collect, analyze, and investigate financial data for FBI cases. They hold advanced degrees and undergo 12 weeks of training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Section Chief Timothy Gallagher of the Financial Crime Section says the forensic accountants work side-by-side with the agents.
Timothy Gallagher: They do everything an agent does except for execute arrest warrants and carry a gun.
Halpern: A Forensic Accountant Support Team—which is like a SWAT team for accountants—is dispatched from Headquarters to quickly respond to an investigation anywhere in the country.
Gallagher: They are not attached solely to white-collar crime squads. They work international terrorism cases, they work espionage cases, they work public corruption cases…we’ve had them assigned to cyber cases as well.
Halpern: For more information, visit www.fbi.gov.

The FBI - "Crime in the United States" - Podcast:

Mollie Halpern: Violent crime in the United States is down for the fourth year in a row. I’m Mollie Halpern of the Bureau, and this is FBI, This Week.
The FBI’s annual Crime in the United States report shows violent crimes in 2010 dropped 6 percent compared to the previous year’s figure. Property crime also decreased for the eighth straight year, falling 2.7 percent. David Cuthbertson, the assistant director of the Criminal Justice Information Services Division…
David Cuthbertson: I think you could attribute the reduction in crime across the board to very effective policing. This country has very, very effective law enforcement at the state, local, federal, and tribal level.
Halpern: The FBI compiles the data from more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies from across the country.
Cuthbertson: The FBI, in conjunction with our law enforcement partners, certainly will not rest on our laurels as we see crime go down. We will continue the fight to make this country as safe as we possibly can.
