Agenda Item Summary:
Going back to as early as 2006, the Rapid City Police Department has participated as an agency member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), which is a joint effort led by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. This agreement is the customary agreement to participate which our agency has signed roughly every 3-5 years since ICAC was started. The Rapid City Police Department and Pennington County Sheriff's Office have collaborated with DCI to have a task force operating in the Rapid City Area. Both agencies have two Detectives assigned, and DCI manages the unit, and collaborates with similar units in all over the State. Investigating these types of cases is often extremely complicated due to the complexities of detecting and analyzing computer related crimes.
