Brief

The Board of Police Commissioners initiated this file to accept a 2024 grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Program. The City Administrative Officer provided fiscal documentation. Public Safety Committee approved the item in April 2025, Budget and Finance waived consideration, and Council adopted it unanimously 15-0 on July 1, 2025. The file is now adopted, though subsequent CAO and Police Commission documents were referred back to committees in early 2026 for review.

Full summary

This file covers Los Angeles's acceptance of federal grant funding to support the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The LAPD leads the Los Angeles Regional ICAC Task Force, a network of 103 law enforcement agencies serving five Southern California counties — Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura — covering roughly 29,500 square miles and 19 million residents. The task force investigates and prosecutes online child sexual exploitation, conducts forensic examinations, delivers internet safety outreach, and participates in nationally coordinated operations. The file began with the Board of Police Commissioners' December 2024 report on the 2024 ICAC grant award. After the City Administrative Officer issued a fiscal analysis in February 2025, both documents were routed to the Public Safety and Budget and Finance committees. Public Safety approved the item on April 2, 2025; Budget and Finance waived further consideration on April 21, 2025, signaling no fiscal objections. Council adopted the measure unanimously 15-0 on July 1, 2025, and the Mayor signed it final by July 3, 2025. The file remained open as additional activity followed. In June 2026, the City Administrative Officer submitted a report seeking retroactive approval for a supplemental grant award of $1,042,765 for the 2025 ICAC program, covering the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with no matching funds required. The CAO recommended authorizing the Chief of Police to accept the award and execute agreements with affiliate task force agencies. Planned expenditures include sworn and civilian overtime ($302,999 combined), travel to national and regional training conferences ($51,297), investigative supplies such as laptops and hard drives ($69,464), subgrants to regional ICAC affiliate agencies for training travel ($121,027), and software licenses, internet services, and cell phone plans ($471,590). The largest single expense category is software and technology services at nearly $472,000. Those supplemental grant documents were referred to the Budget and Finance and Public Safety committees on June 10, 2026, where they remain pending. The core 2024 grant acceptance is complete; the open committee referral concerns the 2025 supplemental award and its associated budget authorizations.
