Background and Analysis:
This is a renewal of an Interagency agreement with Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC). The task force focuses on child pornography and exploitation cases. ICAC obtains reports from Internet service providers reference web sites/images being visited that are known to house child pornography. These reports are then sent to local jurisdictions for investigation. In addition to investigations, the department provides technical support to the task force in the form of forensic evaluation of mobile devices and computers. In turn, resources for equipment and training are made available to the department.
