system is the U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Courts. There are 94 Federal District
Courts in 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands and
the Northern Mariana Islands which hear Civil and Criminal Cases. 88% of the criminal
cases filed in the Federal District Courts are felonies, and 90% of defendants are
convicted.

Computer Intrusions, Online Predators, Organized Crime, Government Fraud, Bankruptcy
Fraud, Healthcare Fraud, Corporate Securities Fraud, Crimes Against Children, Bank
Robberies and Violent Crimes.

schools or health-care industry.

Interpol:
Interpol was created to assist international criminal police cooperation. Its work
centers primarily on public safety and terrorism, organized crime, illicit drug
production and drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, trafficking in human beings,
money laundering, child pornography, financial and high-tech crimes, and corruption.
With an increasing number of foreign nationals working in the US, some employers
are choosing to run an Interpol search.

The USA PATRIOT Act search includes databases of several agencies working toward
strengthening criminal laws against terrorism and enhancing domestic security. Many
of these agencies maintain lists of FBI most wanted, as well as individuals being
