Explanation:
The City of Hollywood’s Police Department has been part of the South Florida Crimes Against Child Operational Task Force for numerous years. This is a multi-agency task force which was formulated to combat crimes committed against children and the criminal exploitation of children that is committed and/or facilitated by or through the use of computers, and to disrupt and dismantle organizations engaging in such activity. The Broward Sheriff’s Office is the recipient of a federal grant to assist the law enforcement in investigating and combating the exploitation of children and the grant provides funding for equipment, training, and expenses, including travel and overtime which are incurred by law enforcement as a result of such investigations. As such, each of the law enforcement agencies are required to execute the attached MOU in order to implement the task force and pursue its goals and mission.
