More than 40 good leads came in over the next two days. On May 15, a suspect was arrested on a lead that was developed by the TRAK flyer. While police use flyers, fax and copy machines, police agencies can't do what TRAK does. With no standard platform across thousands of independent agencies, coordinated responses are difficult. The Internet is part of the solution, but not the complete answer.
Internet requires others to pick up their mail.
There is also concern over security of information on the Internet. TRAK allows you to post a flyer on the Internet, if you want, but rapid and forced delivery of flyers to other TRAK systems and fax machines, ensures rapid dissemination. Government will not provide the solution. Law enforcement is fragmented into thousands of independent jurisdictions. A common, publicly funded solution is impractical.
