Please join us as co-sponsors of legislation to provide a critical source of funding for the prosecution of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children.  This legislation will support and expand upon a federal program that has been critical in building the Commonwealth’s capacity to investigate and prosecute these crimes.

The United States Department of Justice currently has the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program, under which state and local task forces can receive funding, training, and technical assistance for the protection of children who are online. There are currently 61 federally recognized task forces in this program, including one in Pennsylvania.

Our legislation would set up a process by which state and local task forces would be established across the Commonwealth, which would supplement and enhance the work of the existing task forces.
We look forward to working with you on this important legislation.
