	What is the Australian High Tech Crime Centre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The concept of a national centre to coordinate the efforts of Australian law enforcement in combating serious crime involving complex technology was a priority identified by the Australian Police Commissioners Conference in its Electronic Crime Strategy, March 2001 and endorsed by the Australasian Police Ministers Council in November 2002.
		The final preference of the Australian Police Commissioners was the creation of a single centre, the Australian High Tech Crime Centre (AHTCC), to be hosted by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in Canberra and include representation from all Australian State and Territory police forces both in its staff and Board of Management.
		The AHTCC acknowledges the significant contribution made by the Australian Centre for Policing Research (ACPR) towards an understanding of the electronic crime landscape, particularly the challenges it poses for law enforcement and the strategies that can be adopted to combat these crimes successfully.
