The north carolina internet crimes against children (NC icac) task force will continue to maintain, expand, and improve the NC icac task force's effectiveness in preventing, interdicting, investigating, and prosecuting internet crimes against children and technology-facilitated child exploitation. This program will increase forensic capability by training and equipping current and new task force members. The NC icac task force will utilize innovative techniques for the proactive identification and investigation of child predators and for the prevention and education of the citizens of north carolina. Funding under this project will support personnel, equipment, software, training, and other associated costs to achieve the goals and objectives of the icac task force program. More specifically, the task force will work to: increase the number of both proactive and reactive investigations; increase the number of forensic examinations; increase the number of referrals received from other icac task forces and federal partners; increase the capabilities of the NC icac task force agencies in the investigation of technology-facilitated crimes against children; enhance the NC icac task force's effectiveness in preventing these types of offenses; and formalize law enforcement partnerships through written agreements.
