Protecting children worldwide: HSI's strategy for Preventing Online Child Exploitation
Abstract
To confront this new reality effectively,
law enforcement agencies must collaborate.
No single agency, regardless of its size and
resources, can afford to forge ahead alone.
More than ever before, joint federal, state,
and local agency cooperation is paramount.
At U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI), responding to and preventing
cybercrime is a top priority. Each of the nearly
7,000 special agents deployed throughout
the United States and around the world
understands that working cooperatively with
federal, state, local, and international partners
is the only way to effectively and efficiently
address the growing threat of cybercrime.
Nowhere is this sense of teamwork more
important than in the continued relentless
pursuit of those who seek to sexually exploit
children through the use of the Internet.
