ICAC PROGRAM NARRATIVE In the program narrative, please answer the following questions: 1. 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 year, Todd Zwetzig and other members of the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab and Weld County Sheriffs Office have been active participants in the processing of cell phones, computers and other electronic devices submitted to the lab for the examination for evidence of the 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. 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 2012 Macintosh tower computer as well as maintenance support updates for Sumrui Recon Lab, and ITR, which are invaluable to help image and process Macintosh evidence computers for child sexual abuse material evidence. The new computer will assist in being able to image and process newer Apple computers with the new T2 Chipsets. The Software SMS updates will allow us to obtain critical data from the most recent technology devices and hardware to include, computers, cell phones, tablets, hard drives and other removable media. The Magnet outrider triage software will allow us to triage evidence much quicker on the scene and in the lab for child exploitative evidence. 3.
