Summary

Weld County authorized the sheriff's office to submit an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force grant application for $9,500 to support digital-evidence equipment and software used by the regional crime lab.

The Board of Weld County Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the sheriff's office to submit an application for an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force grant of $9,500. Darren Fordwell, digital lab director at the Weld County Sheriff's Office regional crime lab, told the board the office has been a member of the ICAC task force since 2007 and has successfully received funds in prior years.

Fordwell said the requested $9,500 would support the digital evidence group by funding equipment to remove cell phones from networks and by purchasing software used to process digital evidence. He said the grant requires no local matching funds. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.
