Right, and nobody is claiming they need more funding. It's a resource issue, they don't have the resources (i.e. people) to handle cybercrimes, so they hand it off to an org that does (e.g. FBI). They could get the resources by adjusting how they hire (e.g. in my proposal, 1 would be paid less and make up the bulk of the force, leaving more money for 2 and 3), but that's not how they operate, so they don't have the resources they need to investigate certain types of crimes.
