New! Metro Mania By Alan Henney The Latest News on DC Sniper Case The federal Bureau of Justice Assistance has issued a 210-page report on the Washington (DC) area sniper shooting in Oct. 2002. The section on information tech and automation is highlited by the quote from Asst. Chief William O'Toole of the Montgomery County Police Department, "The sniper case started and ended with a call to 911." At one point, the report notes that The "1-800 Tip Line" was never completely integrated with the FBI's lead management system. "This created considerable difficulties for tracking information during the investigation, including being able to identify which jurisdictions had leads and the progress they were making on them." The report outlines setting up calls centers and info systems, and provides an essential explanation of how to organize such investigations and available federal resources.
