The Christian County Sheriff’s Office, along side of the Christian County State’s Attorney’s Office, hosted an important training this week to strengthen the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICACTF).
This training, conducted by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office’s Investigation Division, was focused on Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC). The training also came with support from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
14 participants from multiple agencies attended the training, including the Sheriff’s Offices from Christian County, Montgomery County, and Shelby County. Also in attendance were the Morrisonville Police Department, and the Christian County State’s Attorney’s Office.
The training was aimed at providing law enforcement officers with valuable knowledge on preserving and collecting digital evidence. It also gave knowledge on securing internet-related search warrants, conducting effective interviews, and accessing support resources available from the Attorney General’s Office.
The christian county Sheriffs Office says they are grateful for the opportunity to host this important training as they continue working to protect the children of Christian and surrounding counties.
The Christian County Sheriff’s Office will also be sending deputies to more advanced training in the coming months.
