$108,500,000 of the sum is set aside for child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts
What the document says“of which $108,500,000 shall be used to hire, pay, and equip additional child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts at the Victim Identification Laboratory of the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit of Homeland Security Investigations”
$108,500,000 of the appropriation is set aside. It is to hire, pay and equip additional child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts, at the Victim Identification Laboratory of the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit and at the Homeland Security Investigations offices of the Special Agent in Charge, to support the identification and rescue of victims of child sexual exploitation and abuse. The same set aside is to train those personnel, and State and local law enforcement, in identifying such victims within the Homeland Security Investigations Cyber Crimes Center.
What the document actually says“of which $108,500,000 shall be used to hire, pay, and equip additional child exploitation investigators and forensics analysts at the Victim Identification Laboratory of the Child Exploitation Investigations Unit of Homeland Security Investigations”
Of that sum, $108,500,000 has one use. It pays to hire, pay, and equip more people to look into crimes against children. Some work at a lab that studies the proof.
The lab named here tries to work out who a child in a photo is. That is how a child can be found and helped. Some of the money also trains state and local police to spot these crimes.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
