   Child PREDATOR UNIT  

  

Attorney General Biden is fighting to keeps kids safe in their homes, on their neighborhood streets, and on the internet. That's why one of his first acts upon taking office in 2007 was the formation of the Delaware Department of Justice Child Predator Unit, with a staff dedicated full-time to protecting kids from harm online.

In June, 2007 the Delaware Department of Justice joined forces with the Delaware State Police, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and federal law enforcement agencies to form the Delaware Child Predator Task Force. The Child Predator Task Force is responsible for coordinating online child exploitation investigations and prosecutions throughout Delaware, proactively identifying, arresting, and prosecuting sexual predators who would use technology as a means to target and reach their victims. In October, 2007, the Task Force received a $250,000 federal grant which it used to enhance its forensic capabilities, facilitate staff training, and develop new state-of-the-art office space. Today, staff from the Child Predator Unit work hand-in-glove with the forensic investigators of the Delaware State Police High Technology Crimes Unit at the Child Predator Task Force headquarters. In addition, the Child Predator Task Force has grown to include over 35 of Delaware's local police forces. This represents the vast majority of the state's law enforcement community working together to keep kids safe online.
