APPENDIX C
INTERNET CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
SCOPE OF WORK
The San Diego Police Department ("SDPD") is the recipient of a grant from the United States Department of Justice ("USDOJ"), the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention ("OJJDP"), and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to enforce laws regarding Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC). The SDPD utilizes this grant to administer and operate the ICAC Task A. OVERVIEW / MISSION STATEMENT
1. OJJDP has created the ICAC Task Force Program which is a national network of state and local law enforcement cybercrime units. The national ICAC program assists state and local law enforcement agencies to develop an effective response to cyber enticement and child pornography cases. This help encompasses investigative and forensic components, training and technical assistance, victim services, and community education. Due in large part to the technological aspects of these cases, the ICAC Task Force Program promotes a multi-jurisdictional, multi- agency team approach to investigating and prosecuting ICAC cases.
2. The mission of the San Diego ICAC Task Force ('ICAC Task Force") therefore is to:
A. Properly investigate and prosecute those who sexually exploit children through the use of the internet and/or computers; and
B. Provide training and equipment to those involved in investigating and prosecuting ICAC; and C. Provide community education regarding the prevention of ICAC-related crimes.
B. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to formalize the working relationship between the RIVERSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENTE (SUBRECIPIENT) the SDPD, and the ICAC Task Force, as well as to delineate the responsibilities and expectations of the Parties. By signing this MOU, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to join the ICAC Task Force by placing an Investigator with the ICAC Task Force. This Investigator will be placed at the ICAC Task Force for the primary purpose of vigorously and properly investigating Internet Crimes Against Children. By joining the ICAC Task Force, the SUBRECIPIENT will benefit from grant resources, joint operations, and extensive training opportunities.
By entering into this MOU, the ICAC Task Force will benefit from investigative support from the SUBRECIPIENT.
C. INVESTIGATIONS
CALMES AGAINST
C
SAN DIEGO
All ICAC investigations will be conducted only by sworn law enforcement investigators and in a spirit of cooperation with other ICAC Task Force members. Investigations will follow guidelines established by each agency's respective policy manual or guidelines. However, ICAC investigations shall also be governed by the national ICAC Program's Operational and Investigative Standards, attached as Appendix E, to which the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to be bound. Violation of the ICAC Operational and Investigative Standards is cause for cancellation of this MOU. This MOU is not intended to infringe on the ongoing investigations of any other agency. It is agreed that unilateral acts on the part of employees involved in ICAC Task Force investigations are not in the best interest of the ICAC Task Force.
D. SUBRECIPIENT agrees to the following:
1. Only SUBRECIPIENT personnel will conduct undercover ICAC investigations. Each investigator involved with undercover operations must receive ICAC training before initiating proactive investigations and shall submit reports of all undercover activity to the ICAC Task Force for deconfliction.
2. Conduct reactive investigations where subjects are associated within the SUBRECIPIENT jurisdiction, including investigations of child pornography, CYBERTIP referrals from NCMEC, Internet Service Providers, and law enforcement referrals, and other ICAC-related investigations.
Additional case initiations may develop from other sources, including subject interviews, documented public sources, direct observations of suspicious behavior, and public complaints.
3. Record and document all undercover online activity. Any deviations from this policy due to unusual circumstances shall be documented in the relevant case file and reviewed by the ICAC Commander.
4. Provide the ICAC Task Force access to all ICAC investigative files including, without limitation, computer records, to ensure compliance with all national ICAC standards.
5. Locate its ICAC Task Force investigators in a secured space provided by the SUBRECIPIENT with controlled access to all equipment, software, and investigative files. At a minimum, information should be maintained in locked cabinets and under the control of the SUBRECIPIENT Task Force personnel, with restricted access to authorized personnel only.
6. Conduct education and prevention programs to foster awareness and provide practical, relevant guidance to children, parents, educators, librarians, the business and law enforcement communities, and other individuals concerned about Internet child safety issues. Presenters shall not discuss ongoing investigative techniques and undercover operations utilized by the ICAC Task Force.
E. SUPERVISION
The SUBRECIPIENT will be responsible for the day-to-day operational supervision, administrative control, and personal and professional conduct of its deputies and agents assigned to the ICAC Task Force. ICAC investigations are a cooperative effort and investigative decisions will be a joint process guided by ICAC standards.

1. Purpose of the ICAC Standards
These Standards are established by OJJP to guide the administration and operation of the ICAC Program and its Members when working on ICAC-related Investigations and matters.
Members should make every reasonable effort to comply with these Standards. However, since many aspects of Investigations are dynamic and because laws vary widely between jurisdictions, it is difficult to anticipate every circumstance that might present itself. Thus, reasonable deviations from these Standards may occur depending upon various factors (e.g., emergency situations; timing constraints; accessibility constraints; resource constraints; technology constraints; perceived conflicts between the Standards and statutes, decisional law, and court orders; et cetera).
Commanders may supplement, but not contradict, these Standards in the written agreements they establish with their Affiliates to promote the effective operation of their Task Forces. Should questions regarding the interpretation of these Standards arise or conflicts occur between these Standards and agency policies or law, the Commander faced with the issue shall seek the guidance of an OJJDP Program Manager. However, nothing in these Standards is meant to interfere with a Commander's or Supervisor's lawful tactical decision-making.

2. ICAC National Program
2.1 Mission of the ICAC Program
The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program helps state, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies, and their federal and military partners, develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and internet crimes against children. This support encompasses forensic and Investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, Members' wellness, prevention and community education.
2.2 ICAC Background
The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program was developed in 1998 in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the internet and other technology, the proliferation of child sexual abuse images available electronically, and the heightened online activity by predators seeking unsupervised contact with potential underage victims.
The ICAC Program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing more than 5,200' federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies. These agencies are engaged in both proactive and reactive investigations, forensic examinations, and criminal prosecutions. By helping state and local agencies develop effective, sustainable responses to online child victimization - including responses to child sexual abuse images (Contraband Images), the ICAC Program has increased law enforcement's capacity to combat technology- facilitated crimes against children at every level.
Because arrests alone cannot resolve the problem of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation, the ICAC Program is also dedicated to training law enforcement personnel, prosecutors and other professionals working in the ICAC field, as well as educating parents, youth, and the community about the potential dangers of online activity including online child victimization. Additional information about the ICAC Program can be found on the OJJDP website: https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/internet-crimes-against-children-task-force-program 1 As of February 1, 2023.

Selection and Retention of Task Force Members
4.1 When practicable during the selection process of Members, Commanders and Supervisors shall evaluate prospective candidates for work histories that indicate prior Investigative experience, courtroom testimony skills, technical knowledge and ability, an ability to prudently handle sensitive information, a genuine interest in the protection of children, and an understanding of the effects that Members may experience when exposed to Contraband Images.
4.2 Commanders and Supervisors shall acknowledge the potential effects of Investigations of and exposure to Contraband Images and recognize that the viewing of Contraband Images should be restricted. The following techniques are examples that have helped mitigate some of the potential negative effects of this work and may aid with the retention of Members:
1. Work flexibility - Commanders and Supervisors are encouraged to allow flexibility for Investigators and others who are exposed to Contraband Images (e.g., frequent breaks, having an open-door policy, etc.).
2. Exposure to Contraband Images - Commanders and Supervisors are encouraged to implement practices which minimize the exposure to Contraband Images by Members.
3. Mental Health Providers (MHP) - In compliance with their agency guidelines, Commanders and Supervisors are encouraged to work with MHP to make recommendations for care of Members and to provide education and training designed to minimize the impact of exposure to Contraband Images.
4. Impact of Contraband Images - Commanders and Supervisors are encouraged to share or pursue practices for minimization of the impact of Contraband Images and to promote attendance at trainings regarding methods used to minimize said impact.
4.3 Commanders and Supervisors shall recognize that ICAC Investigations typically focus on child sex offenders who have committed serious state or federal crimes and due to this life-changing event, the impact on these offenders can result in a violent response to authorities.
