Recovery Act and ICAC Continuation Grants support continued efforts through 2013

The 2009-2013 Recovery Act Grant and the 2009-2010 ICAC Continuation Grant are helping to continue the fight against Internet sexual predators and traffickers of unlawful images in Arizona. The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) approved the two grants that will help support the Arizona ICAC through and until March 31, 2013. 

The Phoenix Police Department continues as the primary grantee for the Federal grants and is sharing funding with other ICAC affiliated agencies statewide. Recovery Act funds will support a new investigator position and a new secretary III position in the task force along with desperately needed training and equipment. Continuation grant funds will support the task force supervisor and other training and equipment. 

The task force is grateful to the DOJ for this continued opportunity to serve the young victims of Internet crimes.
