Perhaps they will have contacts, but c'mon... how many of 'em do you really
believe care?
Basically, if it isn't child porn/sexual abuse, most law enforcement
agencies have bigger fish to fry... or at least, think they do. They don't
care to get involved in a problem that could potentially involve multiple
jurisdictions... it's just too much hassle, and they have plenty going on
locally.
I *have* had encouraging results from the local folk, but that's the
exception rather than the rule
