FY 2003 OJJDP DISCRETIONARY CONTINUATION PROGRAMS - CHILD PROTECTION

PROJECT SUMMARY FOR 2000-MC-CX-K003
The FY 1998 Justice Appropriations Act, Public Law 105-119 authorized $2.4 million to OJJDP to stimulate the creation of "State and local law enforcement cyber units to investigate childsexual exploitation" by offenders using the Internet or online communications technology. OJJDP developed the ICAC Task Force Program to assist State and local law enforcement agencies to acquire the necessary knowledge, equipment, and personnel resources to prevent, interdict, or investigate ICAC offenses.

In FY 1998, ten agencies (1st Tier) received ICAC Task Force cooperative agreements. Subsequent annual funding has allowed for the expansion of the ICAC program to grow to 39 Task Forces. Under this program, these agencies serve as regional sources of prevention, education, and investigative expertise to provide assistance to parents, teachers, law enforcement, and other professionals working on child victimization issues.

With funding provided by the Fiscal Year 2004 Appropriations Act to OJJDP, the Search Group Inc. will continue to provide the ICAC Task Forces and the ICAC Investigative Satellites with training related to the investigation of child sexual exploitation using computer technology. SEARCH will also continue to provide ICAC Task Forces and Satellites with on-site and telephonic technical assistance upon request to improve and enhance response and reaction to investigations of child online exploitation.
