Secondment Opportunities es including obtaining evidence through foreign authorities, language barriers, locating and supporting victims and witnesses, and ensuring that offenders are not charged with the same offence in two countries. Canadian law enforcement agencies can contact the NCECC for assistance in these matters. PRIORITIZING TRAVELLING CHILD SEXUAL OFFENDERS – THE VIRTUAL GLOBAL TASKFORCE (VGT) The Virtual Global Taskforce (VGT) is comprised of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP-NCECC), the Australian High Tech Crime Centre (AFP), the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in the UK (CEOP), the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Italian Postal Police, and Interpol. These agencies work together to protect children from Internet-facilitated child sexual exploitation. As Thailand is a popular destination for travelling child sex offenders, the VGT has initiated an operation that will target VGT-country citizens who travel to Thailand to sexually abuse children. The NCECC has drafted a proposal for Canadian participation in this initiative and deployment of members from Canada is under review. For more information about the Virtual Global Taskforce, please visit www.virtualtaskforce.com. The NCECC is committed to delivering collaborative, multi-disciplinary and proactive Internet-facilitated child sexual exploitation investigations and in providing operational support to our policing partners both nationally and internationally. As an integrated unit, the NCECC has employed secondments from Saanich Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, Canadian Border Services Agency, Ottawa Police Service, and participates in a work exchange program with the FBI’s Innocent Image International Task Force. These partnerships provide many beneﬁts for all participating agencies including expediting information sharing, enhancing inter-agency communication and highlighting opportunities for further collaboration between national and international law enforcement agencies. Please contact S/Sgt Mike Frizzell (mike.frizzell@rcmp-grc.gc.ca) to discuss potential secondment opportunities between your agency and the NCECC.
