Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2000, $399,831)

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 child sexual 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. Additionally, OJJDP has funded extensive training and technical assistance capacity to maintain law enforcement's response to computer facilitated crimes against children.

Using OJJDP funds, 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.
