POST FALLS — Attorney General Raúl Labrador met with Post Falls Police Department leadership this week as part of an effort to strengthen partnerships between local law enforcement and the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Labrador’s visit also included stops at the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association Conference and participation in biannual mental health training for ICAC investigators.
“Our ICAC investigators do incredibly demanding work to protect vulnerable children from online predators and they can’t do it alone,” Labrador said in a news release. “Building strong partnerships with police departments across Idaho, including here in North Idaho, is essential to keeping our kids safe.”
Labrador met with captains Mark Brantl and Jason Mealer at the Post Falls Police Department to discuss collaboration between local law enforcement and the Attorney General’s ICAC Task Force.
The attorney general also joined ICAC investigators and team members in Post Falls for their biannual mental health training conducted by Dr. Alex Crampton and Dr. Ross Ginkel, the contracted psychologists for the ICAC team.
The Attorney General’s ICAC Unit works with the Idaho ICAC Task Force, a coalition of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, to investigate and prosecute individuals who use the internet to criminally exploit children.
