Current
VICAP Services
VICAP’s
supervisory special agent for administration, Gary L. Cramer (personal communication
to the author, March 2006), wrote that the current VI CAP program consists of
more than 18 FBI Crime Analysts, along with program management personnel, IT
Specialists, over 700 law enforcement agency clients throughout the United States,
and a decentralized data- base management system, all working together to solve
violent crimes. Crime data is entered within the law enforcement organization’s
VICAP client workstation at the user end and is provided in electronic format
via Law Enforcement Online (LEO) connection to CIRG. Alter- natively, a media
disk or hardcopy of the data can be mailed to the CIRG VICAP program for data entry.
The Crime Analysts collect all data and work to compare, analyze, link, and help
solve crimes utilizing tools offered by the VICAP system.
