Advanced Experiential Child Exploitation Training Project
The COVID-19 pandemic increased technology-facilitated crimes against children, presenting challenges for investigators and prosecutors who lack training and access to innovative methods and technologies. Zero Abuse draws on its subject matter expertise and network to combat this surge in crimes against children. Zero Abuse/s Advanced Experiential Child Exploitation Training Project provides investigators, forensic examiners, and prosecutors with advanced, skill-based training on child exploitation search warrants, cloud forensics, and suspect interrogation methods. The project also includes an on-demand portal for law enforcement to access legal processes, search warrant templates, and other resources related to child exploitation investigations.
The following project objectives reflect the services we will be providing under this grant:
1. Develop and deliver a new 2.5-day, in-person "Advanced Child Sexual Abuse Material Search Warrants" course.
2. Develop and deliver a new 2.5-day, in-person "Advanced Child Exploitation Cloud Forensics" course.
3. Develop and deliver a new suspect interrogation protocol and a companion 2.5-day, in-person training on child exploitation suspect interrogation methods.
4. Develop an on-demand portal to provide law enforcement with legal process templates, resources, and other job aids related to child exploitation cases.
