i-Shield Task Force Updates

On November 6, 2006, Kentucky Attorney General Gregory D. Stumbo formed an i-Shield Task Force in Kentucky, issuing an invitation to law enforcement agencies across the state to join with him to promote cybersafety.

The purpose of the Task Force is to encourage law enforcement to work together to educate our children, teachers, parents and communities about online risks and give them the instruction they need to avoid becoming the next Internet crime victim. The Task Force will work with the non-profit group i-Safe America to help promote Internet safety in schools and communities. It will also bring together school resource officers and other crime prevention professionals to promote cybersafety in the schools.

The i-Shield Task Force produces a bi-monthly electronic newsletter which details Task Force activities and shares important information about Internet crime and steps law enforcement are taking to combat it. Task Force members, as well as other law enforcement contacts, will receive the newsletter electronically and it will also be posted on the Kentucky i-Shield Task Force electronic bulletin board at www.i-safe.org.
