Or�ented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civi] rights sta[utes and regulations. We a[
OCR aze available [o help you and your organiza[ion mee[ the civil righ[s requ'vements that come wi[h Justice
Department funding. �
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs

color, national origin, religion, sex, or disabiliTy in funded programs or activities, not only in tespect [o
employment prachces but also in the de(ivery of services or benefits. Federal law also prohibi[s funded programs
or activities
from discrimmating on [he basis of age in the delivery of services or benefi[s.
Providing Services to Limited English ProSciency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with DeparLmen[ of IusUce Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civi] Rights Act of 1964, 42
U.S.C. § 2000d, mcipien[s of Federat financial assisiance must take reasonable steps fA provide meaningful access
to their progams and ac[ivities for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). For more info�mation on the
civil tights responsibilities Ihat recipien[s have m providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the

Ensuring Fqual Treahnent Fo� Faith-Based Orgauizations
The Department of Jus[ice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to Ihe funding of Faith-based
organizauons. [n genernl, the regulation, Par[icipation in Juspce DepuYment Programs by Religious Organizalions;
Providing for Equaf Trea[ment of al] Juslice Departmen[ �Progtam Par[icipants, and known as the Equal Treatment
Regulation 28 CF.R. par[ 38, reqtires Sta[e Adminis[eriug Ageucies to treat [hese organiza[ions the same as any
other applican[ or recip�ent The regulation prohibits State Admimstering Agencies from making award or p�an[
administration decisions on [he basis of an organization's re(igious character or affdtation, religious name, or the
rehgious composi4on of its boazd of direc[ors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organiza[ions hom using financial assistance from ihe DepaiTment of
lusfice to fund inherently religious ac6vities. While faith-based organizavons can engage in non-fu�ded
inherendy relia ous acuvities, they must be held sepazately from the Depar[ment of Jusdce funded progi'am, and
customers or benefic�azies cannot be compelled to pazticipate in them. The Equal Treatrnent Regulation also makes
cleaz Chat organizations participating in prograzns fundeA by the DeparUnent of Justice ue not permit[ed to

amended; [he V icdms of Crime Act, as amended; and the ]uvertile Justice and Delinquency Re�ention Act, as
amended, wntain prohibiflons against discrimination on the basis of reli�on in employment. These employmcnt
provisions have been specifically incocporated into 28 C.F.R. Pazt 381(� and 382(�. Consequently, in many

religion of applicanu or employees Prograzns subject to these nondiscrimination provisions may be found on

The mission of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC)
Task Force program is to assist state and local law enforcement
agencies in developing an effective response to cyber enticement
and child pornography cases. The Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) program is a national network of coordinated
state and local task forces engaged in proactive investigations,
forensic examinations, effective prosecutions and community
education. The ICAC program was developed in response to the
increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet,
the proliferation of child pornography, and the heightened online
activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with
underage victims. By helping state and local law enforcement
agencies develop effective and sustainable responses to online
child victimization and child pornography, the ICAC prograrn
delivers national resources at the local level. In addition, the
ICAC program believes that building partnerships will reduce
child victimization, both in the United States and internationally.
The purpose of this document is to set minimum uniform
operational and investigative standards. These standards promote
consistency in investigations, referrals, prosecutions and other
aspects within the ICAC Task Force program. This document
does not intend to prohibit officials from using discretion and
best judgment in matters where personal or community safety is
at stake.

Investigative interest is established when there is reasonable suspicion that a
screen name or other potentially identifiable entity has committed a crime or
that entity is engaged in a sequence of activities that is likely to result in the
commission of a crime.
A pr^oactive investigation is designed to identify, investigate and prosecute
offenders, which may or may not involve a specific target, and requires
online interaction and a significant degree of pre-operative planning.
A reactive investigation involves the investigation of a complaint of a crime.
Reasonable suspicion is established when sufficient facts exist to lead a law
enforcement officer to believe that an individual or organization is involved
in a definable criminal activity.

4. Case Management
41 Case Predication and Prioritization
41.1 Cases may be initiated by referrals from the CyberTipline, Intemet service
providers, or other law enforcement agencies, and by information gathered
through subject interviews, documented public sources, direct observations of
suspicious behavior, public complaints, or by any other source acceptable under
agency policies.
4.1.2 ICAC supervisors are responsible for determining investigative priorities and

measures report to the OJJDP designated location before the end of the following
calendar month. This monthly report does not replace the semi-annual progress
report required by the Office of Justice Program's Financial Guide.
4.3 Undercover Investigations
4.3.1 Carefully managed undercover operations conducted by well-trained officers aze
among the most effective techniques available to law enforcement for addressing
ICAC offenses. Undercover operations, when executed and documented
properly, collect virtually unassailable evidence regarding a suspecYs predilecrion
to exploit children.
4.3.2 TCAC supervisors aze responsible for ensuring that ICAC invesrigators receive a
copy of the ICAC Operational and Invesrigative Standards.
4.33 ICAC investigations shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the principles
of law and due process. ICAC investigators aze encouraged to work in
conjunction with their local, state or federal prosecutors.

5. Information Sharing
51 Conventional boundaries are virtually meaningless in the electronic world of the
Intemet and the usual consiraints of time, place, and distance lose their relevance.
These factors increase the possibility of ICAC agencies tazgeting one another,
investigating the same subject, or inadvertently disrupting an ongoing
investigation. To foster coordination, collaborarion, and communication, each
ICAC agency must contribute basic case information to a common database.
5.2 Each TCAC agency shall contribute case informarion on all acrive investigarions
(local, interstate, reactive aud proactive) to a common database as designated by
the ICAC Working Group. This information should be submitted at the earliest
practical opportunity.
53 If any common tazget is identified, the iniriating ICAC agency is responsible for
contacting the other law enforcement agency targeting the suspect.
5.4 Initiating ICAC agencies should also consider contacting other local, state, and
federal agencies which may be involved in similar investigations.

6. Victim Identification
6.1 Identifying child victims is a critical element of the ICAC Program. DOJ and
OJ7DP requue all Task Forces to submit child victim images to the CVIP as a
means to improve child victim identification. Absent exigent circumstances, child
victim images will be sent to the CVIP consistent with NCMEC guidelines. In
addition, ICAC agencies aze encouraged to collaborate with NCMEC to identify
children depicted in child pornography.
6.2 A focus of the ICAC Program is to protect children. In circumstances wbere
reporting of child abuse is not required under eacisting laws, ICAC agencies aze
strongly encouraged to report instances in which a child may be at risk for abuse
or exploitation.
6.3 Absent exigent circumstances, victim identifying information should be protected
from public disclosure.

7. Community Education and Crime Prevention
7.1 Prevention education acrivities aze a critical component of the OJJDP ICAC
Program. ICAC agencies should foster awazeness and provide practical, relevant
guidance to children, parents, educators, librarians, and other individuals
concemed about child safety issues.
7.2 Presentations to school staff, parents, and community groups aze excellent ways
to promote awareness. These presentations sha11 not depict idenrifiable victims,
not otfierv✓ise in the public domain; nor shall they use pornographic or sexually
explicit images. Presenters shall not discuss confidential investigarive techniques.
73 No member of an TCAC Task Force may endorse any product or service without
the express consent of an OJJDP Program Manager. While appeazing at public
presentations, ICAC members may indicate a preference for a product or service,
but to avoid an implicit endorsement, such ICAC members should indicate
adequate alternatives.

This document d'uectly addresses the IGAC Strategic Plan 2005 — 2008 Deliverable 1.5
and the following Actions which call for the program to:
Acrion 1.5.1 Establish an advisory group of high-visibility public figures to assist in
communicating the ICAC program's message
Action 1.5.2 Develop and implement a multi-year coordinated national
communications plan for the ICAC program
Action 1.5.3 Coordinate with relevant organizarions in the public and private sectors to
promote Intemet safety programs
Action 1.5.4 Measure the impact of the ICAC communication plan
Pur ose
The mission of the Intemet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force program is to
assist sTate and local law enforcement agencies in developing an effecrive response to
cyber enticement and child pornogtaphy cases. This support encompasses forensic and
investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, prevention
and community education. In addition, the ICAC Strategic Plan 2005 — 2008 calls for
building law enforcement capacity and reducing child victimization, both in the United
States and intemationally, The purpose of this communications plan is to link the ICAC
mission and strategic plan to the program's communications campaign. This
communications plan seeks to gain awareness, understanding and support for the ICAC
Task Force program. This plan is dynamic and will be updated as program needs evolve
and/or goals and objecrives aze accomplished.
Backeround
The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program is a national network of forty six
coordinated local task forces engaged in proactive investigations, forensic examinations,
effective prosecutions and community education. The ICAC program was developed in
response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the
proliferation of child pornography, and the heightened online activity by predators
searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims. By helping sate and local law
enforcement agencies develop effective and sustainable responses to online child
victimization and child pornography, the ICAC program delivers narional resourees at the
locallevel.

More than 30 million children in the United States use the Internet One in four
children, ages 10 through 17, who use the Intemet regulazYy had an unwanted exposure to
sexually explicit pictures 3 Approximately 1 in 5 received a sexual solicitarion or
approach. The ICAC program actively protects children who use the Internet by
proactively invesfigating the on-line sexual exploitation of children by predators.
Because TCAC practirioners understand that arrests alone can not resolve the problem of
on-line vicrimization, the ICAC program is dedicated to training law enforcement and
educating pazents and youth about the potential dangers online and offering safety tools.
Goals of the Communicafions Plan
The following represent the goals for this communications plan:
Goal l: Develop awareness of the ICAC task force and its mission
Goa12: Promote investigafive resources and training available to the law
enforcement community in an effort to build capacity
Goa13: Redace child victimization through awareness programs making it clear to
parents that juveniles can become victims of sexual exploitation by the
people they meet on the Internet
Goai 4: Focus the ICAC's efforts for maximum benefit to child safety over the
years 2005-2008 and beyond.
Tn order to achieve these goals, the following objectives have been identified:
Objective 1: Develop a national ICAC website
Objective 2: Develop an ICAC identity based on the target audience to include logo
and tag line
Objective 3: Establish an ICAC media representative.

resources and expand the capacity to deliver key messages and
investigative skill sets
Objective 9: Collect and develop marketing materials, community outreach and media
kits for reference and/or dissemination to all Task Forces
Objecrive i0: Establish benchmazks to measure the impact of the ICAC communicarion
plan
Tar2et Audience
The communications plan will equally address three ICRC issues; recognition, response
and prevention. Establishing name and resource recognition is a critical component of
the communications campaign. Recognition will identify the ICAC Task Force as a
resource for the areas of highest priority; law enforcement and parents.
Kev Message
LAW ENFORCEMENT:
• Computer and Internet investigations defy conventional law enforcement concepts
regarding jurisdiction making coordinated response efforts a must.
• T"he ICAC Task Force agencies assist state and local law enfarcement in creating
an effective response to online en6cement and child pomography complaints
including investigative techniques, forensic support, victim services and
community education.
• The CyberTipline offers a mechanism for citizens to report online child
exploitation. Inforxnation reported is analyzed and investigative leads aze
distributed to ICAC Task Force agencies.
• The ICAC Task Force Program offers technica] resources for the use of the Child
Victim Identification Program (CVIP) through the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children. CVIP offers law enforcement the ability to check their
case files for l�own victims as well as providing a clearinghouse for the
submission of newly identified child victims.
• The ICAC Training and Technical Assistance Program offer assistance to Task
Force agencies by developing and deploying cutting edge training in support of
ICAC initiatives.
PARENTS:
• When children leave home, parents ask three basic questions: Where are you
going? Who aze you going with? When will you be home? These same
principles apply to the Intemet. Ask your children what sites they will be
ICAC Communication Plan 20Q5 — 2008
12-16-2005
og� 2�t�
visiting, who they will be tallcing with and how long they will be using the
computer.
• Prepare your children for the online world as you would the real world.
• Internet safety is about parenting — softwaze should be considered a tool, not a
solurion.
• The best way to protect your children is by maintaining and establishing open
lines of communicaflon.
• Establish a positive relationship with your children before someone else does.
• Create and post Internet use guidelines and rules.
• Place computers in common areas where supervision can occur.
• If an online incident occurs, express concern, listen compassionately and remain
calm. "
• Report online incidents to the CyberTipline and contact the ICAC Task Force in
your area or local law enforcement.
When discussing Internet safety with children, provide them with the following
messages:
• The Intemet is an exciting tool that needs to be used safely.
• Do not shaze your personal informarion or picture on line.
• Tell a parent or trusted adult if something makes you feel scared, uncomfortable
or confused.
• Do not meet in person with anyone you first met-online.
• Develop and maintain open lines of communication with your parents.
• Do not share your password with anyone except your parent or guardian, not even
your best friend. ,
• Ignore and refrain from responding to mean ar threatening emails or instant
messages.
