Background:
The Sheriff's Office has an IGA with the Phoenix PD to participate in the AZ Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force.

Further, in joining this task force, ICAC can/will assist in grant funding to assist the Sheriff’s Office in purchasing equipment and/or providing training that may be beneficial in the Sheriff’s Office efforts to identify, arrest, and incarcerate those who choose to commit crimes against children in our communities.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If approved, the Sheriff’s Office will work with the ICAC task force to investigate, prosecute, and deter the possession, production, and distribution of unlawful images depicting the sexual exploitation of minors and the utilization of the Internet to seek children as sexual victims.

If not approved, it will severely impact the Sheriff’s Office ability to detect, deter, and eradicate those who choose to victimize our children in our communities.
