Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces: Forensic Capacity Hiring Program for Wounded Veterans The goal of this initiative is to hire wounded, injured, or ill special operations veterans to serve as analysts to enhance the digital forensic examination capacity of select ICAC task forces; improve task force effectiveness to prevent, interdict, investigate, and prosecute Internet crimes against children and technology-facilitated child exploitation; and reduce forensic examination backlogs and/or increase the number of forensic exams completed by ICAC task forces during the project period. OJJDP requires agencies to select personnel for the position(s) from a pool of eligible HERO Child Rescue Corps candidates; however, task forces unable to fill the position with a HERO candidate are permitted to consider other identified wounded, injured, or ill veteran candidates. |
