Please explain how over the last year, your agency has worked to prevent, interdict, investigate, and prosecute Internet crimes against children and technology -facilitated child exploitation. Over the past few years, Todd Zwetzig and other members of the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab and Weld County Sheriffs Office have been active participants in the processing digital evidence submitted to the lab for evidence related to cases involving the sexual exploitation of children. The scope of their work covers not only Weld County SO, but other agencies that participate in the Regional Lab and other agencies dealing with ICAC investigations in the surrounding area. NCRFL Members have also participated in the execution of search warrants on homes where there are indications of child exploitive files being shared. During search warrants, evidence as it is discovered on scene is triaged to attempt to obtain evidence for immediate suspect identification and prosecution. Detailed reports are completed on items submitted to the lab and testimony is given to the courts when necessary. 2. Please describe how the supplies and equipment you are requesting will help improve your ability to handle ICAC cases. The specific computer equipment request is to replace an old 2013 forensic workstation used as part of the cell phone kiosk which is available to all agencies in the surrounding area as needed. The kiosk allows officers to process their own evidence when possible minimizing the need for lab services. Additionally, we have identified a Faraday bag and charging unit for use to in securing handheld digital devices at crime scenes for transport to evidence storage and eventual processing at the lab. This equipment will allow the device to be removed from the cellular network minimizing the destruction of the digital data found on the device and still maintaining power so the item can be processed in the lab. The UFED for PC Software maintenance allows us to stay current with Cellebrite's software which is used to extract data from tablets and cell phones associated with sexually exploitation cases submitted to the lab. Finally, the software maintenance for MacQuisition software allows for the processing of Apple computers containing sexually exploitative material submitted to the Regional Lab from various participating agencies. 3. Please describe how the forensic skills -based or specialized investigative training you are requesting will help improve your ability to handle ICAC cases. Todd Zwetzig and other NCRFL laboratory examiners already have the skills necessary to operate the software and computer equipment to assist in the examination of ICAC cases. We CSPD 2021 Affiliate Grant Application 1 0.002/ -agar are requesting attendance to the ICAC conference for one individual. This training provides updated legal and case specific knowledge to be shared throughout both the investigation group and the Regional Lab staff.
