The fight against Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) is important, ongoing and complex. Regional ICAC law enforcement conferences provide law enforcement professionals (police, sheriffs, prosecutors, etc.) with excellent opportunities to learn from peers and industry experts, network with other officers from their state and region, and see the latest vendor technology to help them in their digital investigations.
In addition to conferences, four vendors have received funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to train task force members include:
- National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)
- The Innocent Justice Foundation
- National Criminal Justice Training Center at Fox Valley Technical College
- SEARCH
