Takeaways
The well-being and welfare of officers and staff dealing with child sexual abuse cases is the greatest challenge in law enforcement.
Technology companies need to prioritize child protection and invest in preventing abuse rather than just identifying and reporting it.
The internet has transformed child abuse in a negative way, but it also allows for global collaboration and the sharing of best practices.
Forensic companies can assist law enforcement by providing fast and accurate digital forensic analysis, developing safety by design in technology, and implementing global hash databases.
Frontline officers should not be exposed to child sexual abuse material, and technology should be used to identify and flag potential abuse for further investigation.
Sound Bites
"Nobody should have to see, watch, listen to what you and I have unfortunately had to watch and listen to."
"Sometimes people saw it as a victimless crime that a lot of offenders didn't believe they were doing any harm because they weren't committing the abuse."
"The privacy lobby is incredibly well funded. It's very, very well organized."
