INTERNET CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN (ICAC) TRAINING THAT IS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR ICAC TASK FORCE MEMBERS TO GAIN SKILLS FOR FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF

NW3C, A VIRGINIA-BASED 501 (C)(3) NATIONAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, HAS DEVELOPED AND DELIVERED HIGH-TECH CRIME INVESTIGATION, DIGITAL FORENSICS, CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE, ECONOMIC CRIME INVESTIGATION, AND OTHER CRIMINAL JUSTICE TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS. NW3C, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH APEX MOBILE, THE CHILD RESCUE COALITION (CRC), AND THINKTHRU, WILL UPDATE TECHNOLOGY CAPABILITIES BY DEVELOPING ICAC NUCLEUS, A CROSS-PLATFORM TOOL THAT WILL ENABLE ACCESS ON A MOBILE APPLICATION (AVAILABLE ON BOTH THE IOS AND ANDROID) AND DESKTOP WEB BROWSER FOR THE ICAC PROGRAM. ICAC NUCLEUS WILL PROVIDE ICAC TASK FORCES WITH SINGLE SIGN-ON CAPABILITIES, A CENTRALIZED HUB LINKING AVAILABLE REPORTING CAPABILITIES, DECONFLICTION TOOLS, IDENTIFICATION OF HIGH-RISK OFFENDER CAPABILITIES, A SPECIAL COMMANDERS-ONLY SECTION, ACCESS TO ALL TRAINING CULMINATING IN IMPROVING EFFICACY, EFFICIENCY, AND TRANSPARENCY. IMPLEMENTATION OF ICAC NUCLEUS WILL PROVIDE ICAC TASK FORCE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PRACTITIONERS (ICAC CJP’S) THE FIRST-EVER MOBILE APPLICATION. THIS UNIQUE DELIVERY SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE SEAMLESS ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL BUT DISCONNECTED INVESTIGATIVE AND PROSECUTORIAL RESOURCES FOR ICAC CJP’S. IT WILL PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO ACCESS INVESTIGATIVE SYSTEMS TO ENHANCE EVERY ASPECT OF CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS AVAILABLE ON EACH ICAC CJP’S MOBILE DEVICE. ICAC NUCLEUS WILL INCREASE EFFICIENCY, DECONFLICTION, RESOURCE ACCESS, AND CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY OF PUSH NOTIFICATIONS TO THE ENTIRE ICAC CJP COMMUNITY OR A MORE LIMITED GROUP OF COMMANDERS ONLY WITH A FEW CLICKS AND SWIPES ON A MOBILE DEVICE.

THROUGH THIS PROJECT, THE NATIONAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME CENTER (NW3C), IN COLLABORATION WITH DIGITAL FORENSICS EXPERTS, WILL PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT ENHANCEMENTS TO THE EZTRIAGE DIGITAL FORENSICS TOOL. THE EZTRIAGE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE CURRENTLY INTEGRATES FOUR KEY FORENSIC TOOLS FOR EFFICIENT INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION CASES. THIS PROJECT WILL ADD FOUR ADDITIONAL TOOLS AND REFINE THE USER INTERFACE, INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR ICAC TASK FORCES NATIONWIDE. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROJECT ARE TO STREAMLINE THE INVESTIGATIVE PROCESS, REDUCE OPERATIONAL COSTS, AND IMPROVE THE PROSECUTORIAL SUCCESS RATES IN CASES OF CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. BY ENHANCING EZTRIAGE, BOTH NOVICE AND SEASONED INVESTIGATORS WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH A ROBUST TOOL THAT OPERATES WITHIN FORENSIC SOUNDNESS, THEREBY BOOSTING THEIR INVESTIGATORY CAPABILITIES. THE PROJECT DELIVERABLES ARE STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO OPTIMIZE IMPACT: (1) PROVIDE ADVANCED EZTRIAGE ENHANCEMENTS THAT BLEND EXISTING FUNCTIONALITIES WITH FOUR ADDITIONAL FORENSIC TOOLS, ENHANCING DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS; (2) PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO RECOVER ADDITIONAL FORENSIC ARTIFACTS IN A FORENSICALLY SOUND MANNER ON-SCENE SUCH THAT IT CAN BE INTEGRATED WITH OTHER INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES; (3) PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING MATERIALS INCLUDING A REVISED MANUAL AND AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO WITH A TESTING COMPONENT TO CERTIFY USERS ON THEIR PROFICIENCY; AND (4) PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT AND UPDATES POST-PROJECT TO ENSURE THE TOOL REMAINS EFFECTIVE AGAINST EVOLVING DIGITAL LANDSCAPES.

THROUGH THIS PROJECT, THE NATIONAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME CENTER (NW3C) WILL DEVELOP THE AFFIDAVIT AND LEGAL PROCESS HELP ASSISTANT (ALPHA) TOOL, A PIONEERING WEB-BASED PLATFORM TAILORED TO MEET THE EXPANSIVE NEEDS OF THE INTERNET CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN (ICAC) TASK FORCES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. WITH THE RAPID EVOLUTION OF DIGITAL COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES, LAW ENFORCEMENT'S ABILITY TO KEEP PACE WITH SOPHISTICATED ONLINE PREDATORS IS INCREASINGLY CHALLENGING. THE ALPHA TOOL IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES BY STREAMLINING AND ENHANCING THE LEGAL PROCESSES NECESSARY FOR EFFECTIVE INVESTIGATION AND PROSECUTION OF CHILD EXPLOITATION CASES. ICAC TASK FORCES FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES DUE TO THE LACK OF STANDARDIZED, UP-TO-DATE TOOLS FOR DRAFTING LEGAL DOCUMENTS SUCH AS SEARCH WARRANTS, SUBPOENAS, AND COURT ORDERS. THIS DEFICIENCY COMPLICATES CASE HANDLING, SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, CAN IMPEDE TIMELY INTERVENTION IN SENSITIVE CASES INVOLVING CHILD VICTIMS, AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE UNFAVORABLE CASE LAW IMPACTING THE ENTIRE CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY. THE ALPHA TOOL WILL PROVIDE A CENTRALIZED, UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE RESOURCE FOR GENERATING LEGALLY ROBUST AND PRECISE LEGAL PROCESS AND SUPPORTING AFFIDAVITS, FULLY CUSTOMIZED TO MEET THE LEGAL STANDARDS OF ANY JURISDICTION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. THIS INNOVATION PROMISES A MARKED REDUCTION IN DRAFTING TIME, MINIMIZES ERRORS, AND ENHANCES THE OVERALL QUALITY OF INVESTIGATIONS. KEY FEATURES OF THE ALPHA TOOL INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE MUCH OF THE REQUIRED LEGAL DOCUMENT CONTENT AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE FLEXIBILITY FOR INVESTIGATORS TO ADD CASE-SPECIFIC DETAILS. THIS ENSURES THAT DOCUMENTS ARE BOTH COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLIANT WITH RELEVANT STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS. THE TOOL WILL BE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE INDIANA STATE POLICE, LEVERAGING THEIR PROVEN PLATFORM THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED BY NUMEROUS INDIANA AGENCIES, ENHANCING COLLABORATION AND DATA TRANSPARENCY ACROSS STATE LINES. NW3C'S COMMITMENT TO THE ALPHA TOOL EXTENDS BEYOND ITS DEVELOPMENT TO INCLUDE MAINTENANCE, REGULAR UPDATES, AND TRAINING, ENSURING THAT THE TOOL REMAINS CURRENT WITH LEGAL PRECEDENTS AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS. TRAINING FOR ICAC PERSONNEL WILL BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE IMPLEMENTATION, PROVIDED THROUGH WEBINARS AND REAL-TIME SUPPORT, TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE ADOPTION AND UTILIZATION OF THE TOOL. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES A CRITICAL AND URGENT NEED WITHIN THE ICAC COMMUNITY FOR RELIABLE, EFFICIENT TOOLS THAT SUPPORT THE MISSION TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ONLINE HARM. BY IMPROVING THE SPEED AND ACCURACY OF LEGAL DOCUMENT PREPARATION, ALPHA WILL ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TO RESPOND SWIFTLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO THREATS AGAINST CHILDREN, THEREBY INCREASING THE RATE OF SUCCESSFUL INTERVENTIONS AND PROSECUTIONS.

THE NATIONAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME CENTER (NW3C) PROPOSES TO DEVELOP AND DISSEMINATE A COMPREHENSIVE TOOLKIT DESIGNED TO TRAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EDUCATE COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE NEWLY ENACTED TOOLS TO ADDRESS KNOWN EXPLOITATION BY IMMOBILIZING TECHNOLOGICAL DEEPFAKES ON WEBSITES AND NETWORKS ACT, KNOWN AS THE TAKE IT DOWN ACT (THE ACT). THIS LEGISLATION EMPOWERS MINORS AND THEIR GUARDIANS TO REQUEST THE REMOVAL OF NONCONSENSUAL, SEXUALLY EXPLICIT IMAGES, INCLUDING AI-GENERATED CONTENT, FROM ONLINE PLATFORMS. NW3CS PROJECT ADDRESSES THESE CHALLENGES BY CREATING A SCALABLE, ACCESSIBLE TOOLKIT TO INCREASE LAW ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC, AND ENHANCE COLLABORATION AMONG KEY STAKEHOLDERS. THE TOOLKIT WILL INCLUDE A SELF-PACED ONLINE TRAINING COURSE FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND CIVILIAN STAFF, SCENARIO-BASED EXERCISES, AND COMMUNITY-FACING MATERIALS TO GUIDE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE ACTS PROTECTIONS AND PROCEDURES. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT WILL DEVELOP OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS, YOUTH-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, PARENTS, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT ONLINE SAFETY, CONSENT, AND AVAILABLE LEGAL REMEDIES.

THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN TWO NEW TRAININGS ON FORENSIC TOOLS FOR ICAC PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS, SIX WEBINARS ON EMERGING AND IMPORTANT ISSUES AFFECTING THE USE OF FORENSIC TOOLS IN ICAC CASES, AND A PLETHORA OF RESOURCES TO AID IN THE CREATION OF DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBITS FOR USE IN ICAC CASES. THE NATIONAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME CENTER (NW3C), AN ORGANIZATION WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY OF PROSECUTOR AND INVESTIGATOR TRAINING, WILL LEAD AND MANAGE THE PROJECT. THE NATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE TRAINING CENTER OF FOX VALLEY TECHNICAL COLLEGE WILL ASSIST NW3C IN THIS PROJECT. THE PROGRAM GOALS ARE TO INCREASE THE ABILITY OF ICAC PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS TO USE FORENSIC TOOLS AND THEIR OUTPUTS IN A TRIAL SETTING, THEREBY INCREASING TRIAL EFFICIENCY, EFFICACY, AND CONVICTION RATES. THE PROGRAMS DELIVERABLES INCLUDE DEVELOPING TWO TRAININGS, ONE 1-DAY TRAINING FOR PROSECUTORS AIMED AT FOSTERING AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW FORENSIC TOOLS WORK AND WHAT EVIDENCE TOOLS CAN EXTRACT, AND ONE 2-DAY TRAINING FOR BOTH PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS AIMED AT IMPROVING EFFECTIVE USE OF TOOLS AND THE OUTPUTS THEY GENERATE IN A TRIAL SETTING. BOTH TRAININGS WILL BE MODULAR, AND BLOCKS WILL BE PRESENTED AT THREE REGIONAL ICAC CONFERENCES, FACILITATING ACCESS FOR ICAC PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS. NW3C WILL HOST SIX WEBINARS WITH THREE FOCUSED ON ENCRYPTION, SEARCH AND SEIZURE, AND UPDATES TO FORENSIC TOOLS AND THE REMAINING THREE WEBINARS FOCUSED ON TOPICS TO BE DETERMINED BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM ICAC INVESTIGATORS AND PROSECUTORS. THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO PROVIDE ICAC INVESTIGATORS AND PROSECUTORS WITH RESOURCES TO CREATE CASE-SPECIFIC DEMONSTRABLE EXHIBITS. TRAININGS DEVELOPED UNDER THIS PROGRAM WILL BE RECORDED AND HOSTED FOR ON-DEMAND ACCESS, ENSURING WIDESPREAD ACCESS BY ICAC INVESTIGATORS AND PROSECUTORS. NW3CS TEAM CONSISTS OF HIGHLY EXPERIENCED DIGITAL FORENSIC EXAMINERS, FORMER ICAC INVESTIGATORS AND COMMANDERS, AND FORMER STATE AND FEDERAL PROSECUTORS EXPERIENCED IN THE PROSECUTION OF CHILD SEX OFFENSES. THE TEAM'S EXPERTISE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND DELIVERY OF INVESTIGATOR AND PROSECUTOR TRAINING, COMBINED WITH THEIR COMMITMENT TO ONGOING SUPPORT AND ENHANCEMENT, ENSURES THE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT'S BENEFITS.

"NW3C WILL USE FY24 CPD FUNDING TO CREATE A COMMUNITY AWARENESS TOOLKIT WITH TRAINING CURRICULA, VIDEOS, HANDOUTS, AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO USE FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION. TOPICS WILL INCLUDE (1) GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE TECHNOLOGY-FACILITATED ABUSE, (2) SEX AND LABOR TRAFFICKING, (3) SCAMS, FRAUD, AND OTHER TYPES OF EXPLOITATION INVOLVING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND (4) YOUTH VIOLENCE CYBERCRIME AND CYBERBULLYING. WHILE SIGNIFICANT EFFORTS ARE PLACED ON RESPONDING TO CRIME, NW3C HAS CONTINUALLY HEARD FROM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS IN VARIOUS FIELDS THAT MORE EMPHASIS NEEDS TO BE PUT ON AWARENESS AND EDUCATION. EQUIPPING LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH READY-BUILT TOOLKITS THAT THEY USE TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND AWARENESS WILL ENHANCE CRIME PREVENTION EFFORTS AND PROMOTE SAFE COMMUNITIES. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CREATE MATERIALS THAT CAN EASILY BE USED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROMOTE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. NW3C PLANS TO IDENTIFY UP TO THREE PILOT SITES TO WORK WITH ON THIS PROJECT. DURING YEAR ONE (OCTOBER 2024 -SEPTEMBER 2025), NW3C WILL FOCUS ON DEVELOPING THE MATERIALS AND CURRICULA WITH INPUT FROM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS (SME) AND PROJECT PARTNERS, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COPS OFFICE AND THE POLICE EXECUTIVE RESEARCH FORUM (PERF). NW3C WILL RESEARCH CURRENT CRIME METHODS INVOLVING NEW TECHNOLOGIES, INCORPORATING THIS INFORMATION INTO THE TOOLKIT. DURING YEAR TWO (OCTOBER 2025 - SEPTEMBER 2026), THE PROGRAM WILL BE PILOTED AT SELECTED SITES. NW3C WILL SUPPORT PILOT SITES WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND REGULAR VIRTUAL MEETINGS TO PROMOTE PEER LEARNING. FEEDBACK FROM THESE SITES WILL BE USED TO REFINE THE MATERIALS. EVALUATION TOOLS, INCLUDING QUESTIONNAIRES AND INTERVIEWS, WILL BE DEVELOPED TO ASSESS THE TOOLKIT'S EFFICACY.
