The Zero Abuse Project received a $380,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (CFDA 16.543 - Missing Children's Assistance) to implement the Advanced Experiential Child Exploitation Training Project. The project aims to 1) provide training and job aids to Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigators and prosecutors to build their technological capacity in areas like AI, de-aging technology, and investigating sextortion, and 2) deliver experiential, skill-based training to improve ICAC investigative methods for child exploitation search warrants, suspect interviews, surveillance, and testifying in child sexual abuse material (CSAM) cases. The funding will support developing and delivering two new in-person courses, three virtual trainings, and two self-paced courses, while also maintaining and expanding a secure resources portal for ICAC personnel. The project runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
