Crimes Against Children Conference

Computer Labs

NCMEC Child Victim Identification Lab

Many children have been rescued from further sexual abuse because a clue in the background of child pornography images led to the location of their abuse. Partnering with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces and federal law enforcement agencies, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is proud to bring the Victim Identification Lab back to the Dallas Crimes Against Children Conference for a third year.

NCMEC will offer all registered participants at this year’s Conference a glimpse into this powerful law enforcement tool designed to rescue children. Within this interactive lab, computers will be available for participants to access background identifiers and audio clues in hopes that these items may be recognizable or familiar to Lab participants.

Accompanying each sanitized picture will be a real-time message thread where participants can post their comments and suggestions. You may have the piece of the puzzle that could lead to the rescue of a child victim.

NOTE: All registered conference attendees are invited to participate in this Lab; however due to the sensitivity of this issue, please make sure to wear your conference badge and bring proof of identity to gain entry.

Lab registration is now available via the online system.
You must be registered and paid for the conference (or have a purchase order pending) to register for labs. You may pay online with a credit card to expedite the registration process.

You may access the lab registration site only after you have registered for the conference. Those who have registered will receive an email with a link to the lab registration process.

Please select only those labs which you will attend, as space is very limited in these sessions. "Law enforcement only" labs will require identification on site.

FBI’s “Innocence Lost” Child Prostitution Database

Thousands of children are victimized through prostitution each year. Many of these children are never reported missing and are arrested under an adult alias. The FBI has developed and launched the Innocence Lost Database (ILD), a centralized database for national child prostitution data, on Law Enforcement On-line (LEO). The ILD assists Innocence Lost Task Forces as well as local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in identifying child victims of prostitution; sharing biographical information regarding possible subjects and victims of child prostitution; and building enterprise-level investigations.

The FBI, together with NCMEC, and DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, launched the Innocence Lost National Initiative in 2003 to combat domestic child prostitution. Investigations have focused on nationally networked pimps who transport women and children to profitable locations across the U.S.

If you are a law enforcement officer assigned to work Vice, Sex Crimes, Trafficking or Missing Children cases, please stop by the FBI Innocence Lost Lab to experiment with the newly launched Innocence Lost Child Prostitution Database. The ILD contains photos of juvenile and adult victims; pimps; vehicles; and biographical data which can be searched and retrieved. You may recognize a missing child and be the key to bringing them home.

Note: All sworn law enforcement attendees are invited to participate in this lab. Due to the sensitivity of the material, please make sure to wear your conference badge and bring proof of identity to gain entry.

Cell Phone Investigation Kiosk (CPIK)

The North Texas Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (NTRCFL) is participating in a pilot project with the RCFL-National Program Office for cell phone examinations (Cell Phone Investigation Kiosk - CPIK). The concept of this project is to provide the tools and techniques for investigators to obtain actionable logical file information quickly without going through the process of a time-consuming full forensic examination.

During the conference, the NTRCFL will provide a CPIK where credentialed LE investigators can test drive the concept with evidence cell phones that they
brought with them.

The CPIK will be hosted by a certified FBI cell phone examiner during certain hours of the conference. The CPIK will include instruction and the data extraction software and hardware and photographic setup for taking cell phone screen shots. The CPIK includes a workstation (computer, monitor, and printer), DVD/CD copying device and the appropriate software for the workstation.
