The Sacramento Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force will continue to maintain, expand, and improve the Sacramento ICAC Task Force’s effectiveness in preventing, interdicting, investigating, and prosecuting Internet crimes against children and technology-facilitated child exploitation. They will provide educational programs aimed at law enforcement officers, teachers, parents, and children; serve as a resource to law enforcement agencies for both investigations and forensic examinations; assist as needed with the prosecution of cases at the appropriate level; and participate in nationally-coordinated investigations. Progress will be measured through monthly and semi-annual reports as required by the Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). CA/CF.
