SECTION 6A: LAW ENFORCEMENT & COMMUNITY
POLICING STRATEGY
COPS Office grants must be used to reorient the mission and activities of law enforcement agencies
through initiating community policing or enhancing their involvement in community policing. If awarded
funds, your responses to this section will constitute your agency's community policing plan under this
grant. Your organization may be audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating or enhancing
community policing in accordance with this plan. The COPS Office may also use this information to
understand the needs of the field, and potentially provide for training, technical assistance, problem
solving and community policing implementation tools.
We understand that your community policing needs may change during the life of your grant (if
awarded), and minor changes to this plan may be made without prior approval from the COPS
Office. We also recognize that this plan may incorporate a broad range of possible community policing
strategies and activities, and that your agency may implement particular community policing strategies
from the plan on an as-needed basis throughout the life of the grant. If your agency's community
policing plan changes significantly, however,you must submit those changes in writing to the
COPS Office for approval. Changes are"significant" if they deviate from the range of possible
community policing activities identified and approved in this original community policing plan submitted
with your application.

Community Policing Definition Framework
The following is the COPS Office definition of community policing that emphasizes the primary components of
community partnerships,organizational transformation,and problem solving.
Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of
partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public
safety issues, ,such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.
The COPS Office has completed the development of a comprehensive community policing self-assessment tool for use
by law enforcement agencies. Based on this work,we have developed the following list of primary sub-elements of
community policing.Please refer to the COPS Office website(www.cops.usdoj.gov)for further information regarding
these sub-elements.
Community Partnerships: Organizational Transformation: Problem Solving:

By virtue of its mission, the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab (NCRFL) is entrenched in collaborative
partnerships, not only among the 5 participating agencies (the CEOs, the lab board representatives and their
governmental ruling bodies) and the local District Attorney's offices, but also with the Colorado Bureau of
Investigation (CBI), and other agencies located within Larimer and Weld Counties. There are also links to the
US Marshall Office through a WCSO deputy involved in the registered sex offender task force. Periodically
the lab receives calls from other agencies within the state and even agencies outside the state, where an
individual residing in Weld County or Larimer County has been identified as a user, distributor or producer of
child pornography. Ultimately the lab becomes involved in cases that have state, national and even
international impact. When the size of files and type of exploitation of a child reaches a certain point, the local
US Attorney's Office is contacted. On a daily basis the NCRFL actively participates in collaborative
partnerships with other agencies involved in the sexual predation (exploitation and assaults) of children.
Whenever a child becomes the victim of a sexual predator, at some point in time law enforcement becomes
involved. The work of the field investigators and the forensic lab result in interviews, search warrants, and
arrests. During this process the Child Advocacy Centers become involved as do social service and the
courts. To effectively address the needs of the children and ensure justice is secured for the victim, policies
and procedures must be put in place and applied by the different agencies involved with the child victims.
Since the regional lab has become heavily involved in the forensic investigations of children exploited by
sexual predators, the lab is driving forced in seeking funds to assist in providing timely and quality service to
the agencies involved in the child exploitation cases. Some of the funds requested will be used to training
current staff in advance software techniques. Funds are also requested to provide the required certified
training needed for an additional staff member to be added so as to increase the capacity of the digital media
(DM) unit.
Even with this added staff member, procedural changes need to be made by the NCRFL and local LEA
investigators to more effectively process evidence, starting at the point of writing up a search warrant. With
every call received a series of events occurs that involves many individuals, each with a designed role in the
process. So another goal in the grant project is to secure money to train as many individuals as possible who
are involved in a child exploitation case. In evaluating the needs of each contributing agency conversations
with individuals having oversight within that agency were used to guide the selection of training opportunities.
Because of the number of different agencies involved, the number of individuals, and the overlap of some of
the roles within a given agency training is being sought onsite rather than limiting the number of individuals
because of travel costs. In addition, the region benefits with onsite training through opportunities to share
experiences and address concerns unique to the region, such as court rulings and Colorado statutes. The
classes chosen, the order in which they will be held and the dates set for each class will be set up to optimize
opportunities without creating burdens due to staffing problems. Classes that involve different groups may
occur in the same quarter, whereas a class that may have individuals with overlapping responsibilities will be
set up at a time that will afford those needing the training to attend. As the grant covers a two year period, it
will be easy to structure the classes to optimize the training.
Unique to the request is computer triage training for both investigators from the agencies noted above as well
as lab staff. This class is taught by staff from Purdue University, who have worked on establishing an
effective model to address the critical issues that are arising with child pornography and the seizing of
evidence. They have shown that their model more effectively identifies the user, reduces the volume of
evidence submitted and reduces the number of court cases as a result of plea agreements and as a result
increases the capacity to pursue other users, distributors and producers of child pornography.
Finally the need for additional polygraph examiners is a county-wide concern. The Weld County SO has a
commitment to assist the agencies within its boundaries when called upon. In the case of registered sex
offenders, the county assists 13 other agencies in monitoring their location. By having two examiners
available to assist as needed, such as an assault on a child case, the agency can quickly identify
perpetrators and hopefully reduce the risk of further injury to the child or others in the area.
(b) Related governmental and community initiatives that complement your agency's proposed use of
COPS funding.

Once a child has been identified as the victim of a sexual predator there are established procedures in the
county to ensure the child's safety. In addition, there are prescribed policies and procedures with the local
law enforcement agency and the Child Advocacy Center(CAC)to begin the process of interviewing the child,
witnesses and suspects. It is tantamount to the entire process that the interviewing of the child be performed
in a manner that will result in the successful admission of the interviewee's testimony and any resulting
physical evidence once the investigation proceeds into the trial phase. To ensure the safety and rights of the
child victim are secured, to make certain there is an accurate representation of the facts and to secure a
successful admission of courtroom testimony, the prosecuting attorney's offices and state statutes require
that the child have a court appointed guardian and that those individuals involved in interviewing the child
victim receive training specific to that interviewing process.
To ensure that the agencies involved in conducting interviews of child victims or suspects have had the
opportunity to offer their input into this grant request, a time was set aside to discuss their needs. This
discussion occurred between the grant writer and those who oversee the CAC programs as well as a
discussion with the supervisor of the Weld County Sheriffs Office Investigations unit. As a result, several
classes were identified as having high priority needs among the agencies within Weld County. It is assumed
that these same needs are transferable across the state to other county agencies with similar roles and
responsibilities. One of the most critical classes identified was a 4 day class on interviewing the child victim of
sexual assaults. This class is put on by the National Children Advocacy Center and was identified as one
required by the District Attorney's office for investigators responsible for interviewing child victims. Coupled
with this class, there was an expressed need to provide training specifically related to cyber crimes. In
discussions with an FBI employee assigned to the region who is regularly involved with training and cyber
crimes, a class was identified that is specifically designed to address cyber crimes and the interview
techniques essential in interviewing these unique child victims. FBI staff, locally assigned has offered to
teach the classroom portion and they have identified individuals specifically trained to serve as child "actors"
for the"hands-on" interview portion of the training. There were two other classes indentified by staff from"A
kid's Place" (CAC in Greeley)that would benefit the Child Advocacy Center's staff in their responsibilities to
the communities of Weld and Larimer counties.
To further understand the value of the CAC's role in the process the following was taken from "A Kid's Place"
website. (It is the CAC for Weld County):
"The Child Advocacy Centers:
-ensure that a possible child victim has an opportunity to tell his/her story to an unbiased professional,
-reduces the number of times a child victim must be interviewed by video-recording all interviews,
-offers non-offending family members crisis intervention, support and access to services.-provides multi-
disciplinary case review for child abuse cases in Weld County, thereby, ensuring that these delicate cases
proceed in the best interest of the child victim and quicken prosecution times,
-helps victims start the road to healing."Although their primary service is to help the child victims, their
effectiveness is also measured in the recidivism of their victims, less than 3%. They are very effective in
breaking the cycle of victimization in families, thus preventing a continuation within the families they work with
each day.
Finally, the Weld County Sheriffs office publishes a website, a portion of which relates to registered sex
offenders in the county. They have taken on the role of maintaining this site and monitoring the activity of
many of the sex offenders (registered or not) in the county. Because of their role the WCSO seeks the funds
needed to become more active in the monitoring of those sex offenders that are registered as well as working
with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to identify those who have not registered within the
county.
(c) Organizational transformation—how your agency will use these funds, if awarded, to reorient its
mission to community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community
policing.

In the 199Os and early 2OO0s DNA technology changed the face of the forensic lab, from the use of latent
fingerprints as the primary means of identifying suspects to the power of DNA STR profiles and DNA
databases to identify suspects in sexual assaults, property crimes and other violent crimes. With the
advances in computer technology and increased access to high powered, high capacity (terabytes)
computers, sexual perpetrators are exploiting children through the distribution of child porn at an alarming
rate. This has lead to an increasing demand for the services of computer forensic examiners. As the
computer examiners become more skilled in the identification of perpetrators and the processing of their
computers, these perpetrators counter by altering their activity and limiting accessibility to their cache of child
pornography. Therefore, it has become incumbent on the investigators and their supporting computer
forensic examiners to alter their methods and technology so as to identify and successfully prosecute these
sexual predators. Purdue University has developed a triage method that is being used with much success
across the country. The use of grant funds to training investigators and computer forensic examiners in these
techniques is vital to more effectively identify and capture critical evidence from the sexual predators.
The use of this investigative and seizure tool (computer triage method) is a major shift from the current
practice of P2P identification of individuals or receiving a call from a resident in the county whose child has
become a victim. The lab uses software to track the users and distributors of child pornography in the
counties as well as the state, by monitoring IP addresses. As part of the data collection for the grant, a
weeklong tracking of IP addresses was done, and as a result 19 IP addresses were identified where child
pornography was being shared.All of these criminal events could lead to a search warrant being written and
subsequently executed. However current technology and limited capacity in the lab will not allow this to occur
at the present time. With grant funds providing the training, equipment and supplies, organizational changes
in how these cases are approached will occur with anticipated success across the region. Recent successes
using some of the methods, although cumbersome due to equipment challenges, have brought about the
identification and arrest of individuals that otherwise would not have been identified using earlier tools and
techniques.

SECTION 7: NEED FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE
A. Waivers of the Local Match
Section Not Applicable to 2011 COPS Application Attachment
B. Explanation of Need for Federal Assistance
All applicants are required to address the need for federal assistance. In the space below, please
provide a brief explanation of your agency's inability to address your public safety needs and
implement this project without federal assistance.
[Please limit your response to a maximum of 3,000 characters.]
The goals of this grant request are far reaching and involve many different agencies. Some of the
agencies (law enforcement and prosecutors) involved are funded by county or city tax revenues and
these revenues are dependent on the economy and decisions of elected officials. Other agencies are
not-for-profit,and rely heavily on donations and grants to support their activities. For either group,
funding for programs relative to the exploitation of children do not receive the same attention or
interest as a child kidnapping, sexual assault or homicide.Yet the victim's are just as traumatized and
the impact on their future just as far reaching and potentially damaging. Yet in most instances,the
requests for training, equipment and supplies to address these issues often fall outside the scope of
the agency's budgets. This is not to say that the training and supplies are not needed within the
organizations. However,the priority may not be there for the agencies, many of whom are seeking to
sustain services that have been stretched through budget cuts over the past 2 to 3 years.
For the not-for-profit agencies that may become the recipients of training opportunities from this
grant,these funds may be the only means available to expand the knowledge,skills and abilities of
their staff. In difficult economic times maintaining status quo is all these agencies are able to do;
meeting the basic needs of the child victims and fulfilling the statutory requirements of the state. By
providing this training,which is outside the scope of their current budget,the potential of being more
effective in identifying other problems within a family or addressing other needs for the victim
increases.
For law enforcement agencies working within a set budget, they have also had cuts in their budgets
due to reduced tax revenues. The requests being made in this grant are sought to address needs that
are not part of the current or future budget requests. In addition,the growth of child exploitation on
the internet may require a new program with start-up funds coming from outside the agency to assist
in elevating the issue to a point of getting the attention necessary to continue funding and supporting
the program.
Finally,the requests on this grant cover a wide number of agencies and individuals from federal to
state to local government entities. On their own, one or two agencies may be able to afford to
participate in one aspect of the program,sending one person to training, buying one triage kit, etc.,
but the impact of their efforts will not be noticeable across the region.This multiregional,
multidiscipline approach to meet a growing problem in the region has a greater chance of success and
making an impact if many are involved and there is a concerted effort on the part of all. As noted, this
plan exceeds the budget plans and designs of the agencies involved and can only succeed with grant
funds.

The Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab acts as a focal point in the investigative process of both sexual
assaults on children as well as the child exploitation cases. The number of recorded sexual assaults on children
remains consistent in the Northern Colorado region. However, there has been an apparent increase in the
number of exploitation of children cases. Unlike a physical assault on the child that may occur in the
community, these child exploitation crimes may have an intended victim living in the community who is involved
as a victim in the production of child pornography. More often, it is a sexual predator residing in the region that
possesses and/or distributes child porn throughout the region, state or country. In any event these child
exploitation cases do not follow the traditional investigative processes and therefore present challenges for
investigators, child advocates, and the entire court system, from attorneys to judges to juries.
As the lab is supported by five law enforcement agencies in the region and provides computer forensic services
to the communities in the region, it has taken on the role of seeking funds to address the needs of child victims
of sexual predators within the region. These needs, addressed by the head of the Child Advocacy Center;
identified by investigators in the processing of these cases; identified for prosecutors in understanding the
nuances of child exploitation cases and computers; and defined for the lab so as to provide more assistance to
all of these groups, are being addressed in this request for funds . The training needs are requested to develop
the knowledge, skills and abilities of the Child Advocacy Center(CAC) staff and investigators in their
interviewing of victims and suspects. Other training for investigators is sought to assist them in their
investigation of child exploitation cases; preparing them to work the process from first report to prosecution of
the case. Training for lab staff is sought to expand their knowledge and skills in the use for software related to
the forensic analysis of computers. Training and equipment is also sought to enhance the polygraph section of
the sheriff's office, and finally a class designed specifically for prosecutors in understanding child exploitation
cases and the computers being used by sexual predators.
The primary goal of this project is to provide training, equipment and supplies to meet the identified needs of the
community as the work to support and provide safety and security for the child victims of sexual predators. This
is a multifaceted project, covering many of the members of the CAC teams, in both counties served by the
regional forensic lab.

A. Problem Identification [Responses are limited to a maximum of 3,000 characters.]
By virtue of its mission, the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab (NCRFL) is entrenched in collaborative
partnerships, not only among the 5 participating agencies and the local prosecuting attorney's offices but also
with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and other police agencies in Weld and Larimer Counties.
From January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2011 the computer forensic section of the lab received evidence from 439
criminal cases, and completed 438 cases. There was a backlog of 43 cases on 1/1/2008, and this Forty-some
cat I TlF i49on (NECAP38431�{ OPt IN4RRA74VF s being submitted
to theTab are linked to the exp of a ion o chit ren or sexual assaults o children. The C examiners have
noticed in recent submissions the total number of computers submitted and the volume of data on the computer
have significantly increased. A typical case now approaches 2 terabytes of data capacity and the volume of illicit
material to be examined at over 20 gigabytes. These recent submission trends give every indication that the two
counties served by the northern regional lab will continue to experience an increase in child porn cases. That
being the situation, the Child Advocacy Center(CAC)team must expand its investigation capabilities, continue to
support the child victims, bring about successful outcomes against these sexual predators and in the process
work to stop the cycle of child victimization.
Both counties have accredited CACs that are actively involved in securing the safety and well being of the child
victims. These Advocacy Centers have teams made up of staff from the center, police investigators, social
services, the district attorney's offices and medical personnel. The Regional Lab, as a source of forensic
assistance to the police and prosecutors plays a vital role in this criminal justice process.
To be successful in the process of helping the child victim, each member of the team must have the training and
tools necessary to effectively complete their work assignments. The lab requires added staff to reduce its backlog
and increase its capacity to turn around cases. Investigators and the CAC staff need training to develop interview
skills specifically designed to help the child victims. The lab and investigators need to modify their current
protocols in the investigation of sexual exploitation of children so as to assure the accurate identification of
perpetrators. In addition, they must successfully collect the images and this is becoming a greater challenge as
technology advances.
Finally, the registration of sex offenders continues to be a challenge. Coupled with this is the need to quickly
identify the perpetrator in child sex assaults and other violent crimes against children. The use of polygraph
examinations is an effective method of addressing both problems and an essential tool in the arsenal of the
investigators in their efforts to correctly identify sexual pre

C. Building Relationships and Solving Problems [Responses are limited to a maximum of 3,000 characters.]
By virtue of its mission, the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab (NCRFL) is entrenched in collaborative
partnerships, not only among the 5 participating agencies and the local District Attorney's offices, but also with
the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and other agencies located within Larimer and Weld Counties. There
are also links to the US Marshall Office through a WCSO deputy involved in the registered sex offender task
force. Periodically the lab receives calls from other agencies within the state and even agencies outside the state,
where an individual residing in Weld County or Larimer County has been identified as a user, distributor or
producer of child pornography. Ultimately the lab becomes involved in cases that have state, national and even
international impact. When the size of files and type of exploitation of a child reaches a certain point, the local US
Attorney's Office is contacted. On a daily basis the NCRFL actively participates in collaborative partnerships with
other agencies involved in the sexual predation (exploitation and assaults)of children.
The regional lab, in providing forensic services to law enforcement and the judicial system recognized the growth
in exploitation of child cases and was provided an opportunity to present solutions to address the problem.
Recognizing that there was an increase in the volume of data being collected and submitted for examination as
well as understanding the complexities of internet sharing among sexual predators the lab looked for possible
solutions to more effectively identify users, and quickly complete casework. Recent publications and conference
presentations have offered strong options to the current method of investigation and examination that have
shown to be more effective and efficient, especially once an individual has been identified.
The primary focus of the grant funds is to provide better service by the lab to investigators and the courts. In
addition, other needs were identified relative to the sexual exploitation of children within the community. The
Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) are in need of training, as are police investigators in developing and expanding
their interviewing skills. Specific classes have been identified that will assist these agencies in addressing this
need. Due to the regional location of the classes this will also create increase cohesion and support among the
teams and possibly between the 2 county CAC teams.
Finally the Sheriffs office seeks to expand its assistance to the communities in Weld County relative to the
registration of sex offenders. It maintains a record of those registered and monitors those in the county regions it
serves as well as 12 other communities in Weld County. However, the WCSO seeks to expand its service in this
area and recognizes that one effective way is to increase the number of polygraph examiners and examinations it
can complete on a regular basis.

D. Implementation Plan [Responses are limited to a maximum of 3,000 characters.]
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:
There are several aspects to this project, some will require the full two years and others parts, not being so
interrelated, can each be implemented during the same time period.
Polygraph:
Individuals have been identified as potential candidates for training in the performing of polygraph examinations.
Once notification has been received of the availability of funds for the project the potential candidates will be
narrowed down to the top two candidates. Once the grant has been accepted and funds are available, the
polygraph equipment and computers will be purchased.At the same time applications will be made to schools
that offer certification to law enforcement personnel. It is expected that this will occur within the first year of the
funds being awarded.
Staff training:
Current: The FTK and Encase classroom opportunities for advanced training need to be spread out to afford the
best return in information gained and applied. The 3 staff members will attend calendar year training in either FTK
or Encase but not both during the first year of the grant funding. The second year will involve training from the
vendor, not used in the first year.
New member The digital media technical leader has identified a course of training that will satisfy the certification
requirements for computer forensics. This training will begin once funds are available and continue for the
duration of the grant.
Triage training: The computer forensic staff will participate in the triage training class provided by Purdue
University. They will follow this training with the hands on Portable Software for triage class.
Non-staff training:
There are a variety of training opportunities that will be made available to the various members of the CAC team.
Once funding has been accepted process of bring in trainers, participants, securing rooms and facilities will
occur. Once funds are available the agencies will be contacted and a list prepared of staff being nominated for
each class. Those classes that require an individual to participate in one before the other will be set up so as to
allow for the training to be done in the correct order as well as separated in time so the individual can absorb
apply and then come back. It also puts less of a burden on the agency to have classes spread out over two
years.
Order of training:
Sexual Assault victim interview training from NCAC -Spring 2012
Triage training for investigators from Purdue University- Late Spring/Summer 2012
Triage training of investigators—one day to include portable software for triage- Summer 2012

C. EQUIPMENT/TECHNOLOGY
Instructions:List non-expendable items that are to be purchased. Provide a specific description for each
item and explain how the item supports the project goals and objectives as outlined in your application.
Non-expendable equipment is tangible property (e.g., technology) having a useful life of more than one year
and an acquisition cost of$5,000 or more per unit. Expendable items should be included either in the
"SUPPLIES" or"OTHER" categories. Applicants should analyze the cost benefits of purchasing versus
leasing equipment, especially for high-price items and those subject to rapid technical advances. Rented or
leased equipment costs should be listed in the "CONTRACTS/CONSULTANTS" category.
Please be advised that, to the greatest extent practical, all equipment and products purchased with these funds
must be American-made.
For agencies purchasing items related to enhanced communications systems,the COPS Office expects
and encourages that,wherever feasible,such voice or data communications equipment should be
incorporated into an intra-or interjurisdictional strategy for communications interoperability among
federal,state, and local law enforcement agencies.
See the program-specific Application Guide for a list of allowable/unallowable costs for this program.
Agencies are encouraged to limit their requests to the lines shown below and group similar items together so
that all items are accounted for on the budget worksheet for each category. However, if your agency requires
more lines please check the available box. Please limit your descriptions to 1000 characters.

FRED L Laptop Computer ( 5 X 5000 ) $25,000.00 Forensic Recovery of Evidence
and Write blockers Device (FRED) L laptop and write
blockers are essential components
to the triage kit. On scene, the
images captured from the
computers in question with the
portable software, must be
transferred and reviewed. The
essence of performing triage on
scene is to quickly review images
to eliminate computers without
notable images and identify the
computer(s) and user(s) so as to
make arrests as needed and collect
the computers and cell phones.
The FRED-L performs that task for
the forensic computer analysts on
scene, and eliminates the need to
carry a FRED from the lab out to
each search warrant. This provides
a more cost effective and efficient
approach to the examination of
computer forensic evidence. Each
of the five law enforcement
agencies will receive a FRED-L for
use duing the execution of a search
warrant for child pornography.
FRED(Forensic Recovery (2 X 11250 ) $22,500.00 The request for 2 FREDs is to
of Evidence Device) provide the essential computer
hardware and software needed for
the additional computer forensic
examiner to perform their
examinations and analyses. The
NCRFL uses the FRED as the
means of capturing the images off
of the submitted evidence
(computers, servers, and cell
phones) so the original media
device remains as it was seized.
The analyst then uses one FRED in
their examination of images while
the other FRED is capturing
images to be examined the next
day or week. This process creates
the most efficient use of time,
equipment and personnel.
Server ( 1 X 15000 ) $15,000.00 This server is to be used for the
longer term storage of images to
replace the current approach of
copying to CDs, DVDs and tapes.
Federal and state statutes do not
permit the possession of child
pornography except by law
enforcement for law enforcement
purposes. Once the forensic mages
have been extracted, examined
and analyzed they need to be
stored pending court and the
appeals process. They cannot be
stored on the servers used by
general lab staff due to content and
therefore a separate server is
needed, accessible only to the
computer forensic analysts, for the
long term storage of these images.
