BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: Internet Crimes Against Children FY 2020 Grant
DEPARTMENT: Sheriff's Office Crime Lab DATE: 08/19/19
PERSON REQUESTING: Daren Ford, Lab Director Regional Lab
Brief description of the problem/issue:
Weld County Sheriff's Office/Regional Crime Lab has the opportunity to obtain funds to pay for software
renewals for Cellebrite UFED for PC ($3800), Recon Imager (S200) and Recon Lab ($900). These software
tools are frequently used by analyst to process evidence related to Internet Crimes Against Children. These
software tools assist in processing large volumes of data in an automated format increasing analyst efficiencies
in sexually exploitative cases.
This request is to ask for the opportunity to submit a request for grant funding that will help our lab to maintain
the quality of service it has attained and continue to provide essential services to the region. There is never a
guarantee that funds will be given, but we have been able to secure funds from the ICAC grant over the past 8
years. If funds are approved a separate request will be made in the fall to accept the SOGA offered.
What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options):
• Approve the request for funds ($4,900) for the Regional Lab which was not requested in the 2020 year
budget request.
• Deny authorization to sign. This may result in increased cost to the County General Fund to purchase
necessary software to utilize existing devices.
• Not approve the request.
Recommendation:
Authorize chair to sign the Statement of Grant Application with Colorado Springs and accepting the grant
request for training.

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

Over the past year, Daren Ford and Todd Zwetzig, through 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.
They 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.
They testify in court regarding the results of findings when required.
2. Please describe how the supplies and equipment you are requesting will help improve your
ability to handle ICAC cases.
The specific items requested are software, maintenance support updates for three forensic
software tools. This allows 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.
3. Please describe how the forensic skills -based or specialized investigative training you are
requesting will help improve your ability to handle ICAC cases.
