The purpose of the NIDS is to provide a secure, dynamic undercover infrastructure to facilitate online law enforcement investigations of child exploitation; to promote data deconfliction and information sharing among OJJDP&#146;s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program ICAC-affiliated federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies (which, by preventing duplication of efforts, will conserve State and local resources); and to enhance the capacity of OJJDP to collect and aggregate data on the extent of the problems of child exploitation. . This program furthers the purpose of the Recovery Act by helping state and local law enforcement agencies budget investigation and prosecution dollars efficiently and conserve funds facilitating inter-jurisdictional communication and data sharing so as to more efficiently manage child exploitation units, prevent crime, and hold offenders accountable.
