The decision to escalate incidents to law enforcement is an area fraught with conflict. In your opinion, what are the pros and cons of law enforcement involvement?  What resources and references can you cite to back up your assertions?

If law enforcement is not involved in the process of reporting cybercrime then why put our trust in companies? The debate starts as panic can spread when people find that a massive breach has occurred and information is at risk, but companies want to save face. An organization’s image should not be more important than a consumer’s own safety. While I agree someone attempting to break in may not be as important and a customer’s information is not always taken it is never a bad thing to be safe than sorry. While yes even the people may hide details to prevent a mass panic the truth does eventually come to life when the harm is over. I believe overall that involving law enforcement has a positive impact and would benefit both the company and the consumer.
