"The number of online child exploitation cases has grown over the past few years from hundreds to thousands. Wednesday, donors handed the Children's Advocacy Center the keys to a new Internet Exploitation Investigation Van. . . One way is the new Internet Exploitation Investigation Van donated to the Children's Advocacy Center. The van is equipped to transport and preserve electronic evidence in child abuse cases.

"In the past, our officers were able to use a patrol car, but if anything dropped, if anything broke, if anything got compromised, then it might not be usable when the case actually went to court," Sandra Martin, with the Children's Advocacy Center, said.

With the van, investigators will be able to process computer systems as evidence right at the scene."

Comment: This type of electronic discovery and electronic evidence system will become commonplace in the fight against cybercrime.
