Harnessing technology to make a positive impact in the fight against child exploitation
In the face of rising threats to children across the country, a group of dedicated experts came together with a shared vision: to help law enforcement tackle the most complex cases involving missing, exploited, and trafficked children. These professionals, each bringing unique skills from law enforcement, cybersecurity, and intelligence, were united by a common mission— to bridge the gaps in resources and technology that often hinder critical, child-focused investigations in communities across America.
Just last year alone, we assisted on over 2,300 cases.
