<p>There are limits to what can be said publically about the operational techniques
used by our law enforcement agencies. To do so would assist <br>potential criminals
to evade detection. However, in investigations that start with an online identifier
or IP address, such as online child sexual <br>exploitation cases, communications
data will often be the only available investigative lead to identify a suspect or
victim in the real world. If this <br>data is not available, such investigations cannot
proceed. As the Director General of the National Crime Agency, Keith Bristow, has
made clear: <br>"Communications data is still overwhelmingly the most powerful
tool available to those investigating child sexual exploitation and identifying and
<br>safeguarding its victims and potential victims."</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
