General Biden is fighting to keeps kids safe in their homes, on
their neighborhood streets, and on the internet. That's why one
of his first acts upon taking office in 2007 was the formation
of the Delaware Department of Justice Child Predator Unit, with
a staff dedicated full-time to protecting kids from harm
online.

June, 2007 the Delaware Department of Justice joined forces with the
Delaware State Police, the U.S. Attorney's Office, and federal law
enforcement agencies to form the Delaware Child Predator Task Force.
The Child Predator Task Force is responsible for coordinating online
child exploitation investigations and prosecutions throughout
Delaware, proactively identifying, arresting, and prosecuting sexual
predators who would use technology as a means to target and reach
their victims. In October, 2007, the Task Force received a $250,000
federal grant which it used to enhance its forensic capabilities,
facilitate staff training, and develop new state-of-the-art office
space. Today, staff from the Child Predator Unit work hand-in-glove
with the forensic investigators of the Delaware State Police High
Technology Crimes Unit at the Child Predator Task Force headquarters.
In addition, the Child Predator Task Force has grown to include over
35 of Delaware's local police forces. This represents the vast
majority of the state's law enforcement community working together to
keep kids safe online.
