Keynote
Address: Protecting Our Children through Inter-Agency
Collaboration
An
overview of the San Diego County “Protecting Children Online”
campaign. San Diego County has developed and utilized a collaborative
intervention and response strategy that addresses many of the
universal principles pertaining to sex crimes. Starting with educational
efforts in the community, the program focuses on stopping crimes
before they occur through making members of the community aware
of the risks in the online world. The efforts of law enforcement
at all jurisdictional levels are coordinated in such a way that
every aspect of sex crime response- from first response, victim
relations, evidence gathering, forensic testing, trial, incarceration,
and post-correctional registration and monitoring are a part of
a streamlined process that promotes maximum public safety.
