This is a combined law enforcement effort which involves police departments across Maryland. It’s made possible by a grant from the Governor’s Office on Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services as well as a grant from the US Department of Justice. The Task Force focuses on identifying those involved in child pornography through the Internet and other related crimes where children are the victims.
