Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section

The Department of Justice, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) has taken an active role in training federal prosecutors to handle child crime cases that were once mainly handled by local jurisdictions. The Section has sponsored several training seminars for federal prosecutors on the issues of child pornography and child exploitations. These training sessions have taught prosecutors and federal law enforcement agents the mechanics of computer hardware and software, the Internet, online investigative tools and techniques, and child exploitation laws. CEOS also offers U.S. Attorneys' offices litigation support through investigative advice, computer search warrant and indictment reviews, and joint prosecution of cases.
