The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office will continue to maintain, expand, and improve the Kansas ICAC Task ForceÂs (KS ICAC) effectiveness in preventing, interdicting, investigating, and prosecuting Internet crimes against children and technology-facilitated child exploitation. The KS ICAC works directly with the Wichita-Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit. Together, these units investigate all exploitation, missing, human trafficking, physical and sexual abuse cases involving child victims. Kansas ICAC and thirty-nine (39) task force affiliate agencies serve 511,574 residents of Sedgwick County and 2,913,021 residents of Kansas. Kansas ICAC partners with state and federal prosecutors and enforcement agencies. The State of Kansas has seen an increase in the number of identified domestic minor sex trafficking cases. The majority of these cases involved technology facilitated prostitution. Kansas ICAC will continue to enlist new task force affiliates and partners to combat the issue of child exploitation. The short term goal is to maintain the competencies and capabilities of the Kansas ICAC unit. The successive goal is to enhance communication and increase training provided to current and future affiliate agencies. Progress will be measured through monthly and semi-annual reports as required by OJJDP. CA/CF
