Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary

The New York State Police Finance Division (operating as Troop K) received a $760,368 Cooperative Agreement from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention under the Missing Children's Assistance program (CFDA 16.543) for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The award funds the continuation and expansion of the New York Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which develops and implements response strategies to combat technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and internet crimes against children. The task force and its affiliate agencies conduct both proactive and reactive investigations, perform forensic examinations, and support criminal prosecutions in federal and state courts.

Under this cooperative agreement, deliverables include enhanced investigative and forensic capabilities, increased prosecutions resulting from ICAC offenses, comprehensive law enforcement and prosecutor training and technical assistance programs, educational outreach and awareness initiatives, and support for nationwide responses to internet crimes against children. Performance will be evaluated through monthly and semi-annual reports and other performance objectives established by the Office of Justice Programs. The award represents federal investment in strengthening New York State's capacity to investigate, prosecute, and prevent child exploitation crimes while supporting victim protection and recovery efforts.
