Challenges and Priorities in Law Enforcement's Fight Against Crypto Crime
A survey titled "Tackling Crypto Crime" conducted by TRM Labs reveals that 90% of law enforcement professionals believe their organizations provide crypto training, but 99% of them call for an increase in this training. The survey involved over 300 law enforcement professionals from the US and internationally, with 93% of respondents being from US law enforcement, mostly from federal agencies. The survey found that 40% of their investigations involved crypto, and they expect this number to reach 51% by 2027. Despite this anticipated increase, most law enforcement professionals feel unprepared for dealing with crypto-related crimes in the future. Around 50% of federal agencies currently use blockchain analytics tools, while only 11% of state agencies do. Additionally, 61% of respondents said they lack advanced technology to effectively address crypto criminal threats. The survey also highlighted the shortage of investigators, expertise, and funding as the primary obstacles for law enforcement in combatting crypto crime.
