Project Identify (PI) collaborates with Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces by providing a team of specialized former law enforcement (Project Identify Program Specialists) and connection to Crisis Aid International Children’s Anti-Exploitation Partnership (CAP) professional support, advocacy and mentoring program. Project Identify Program Specialists review tips received via ICAC, specifically focusing on tips involving children at risk of various crimes against them. Pl program specialists evaluate these tips and, upon identifying vulnerable children, connect with their families. Our approach centers on identification, safety planning, and professional mentoring.
