ICAC Task Force Coordination Model

PROBLEM:

Operation Fourth Take was led by a city police department and run with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force — a task force of 290 agencies. A four-day operation that joins a local department with a 290-agency task force needs a coordination model that says who leads, who assists, and who holds the case file, or the operation's record fragments across agencies.

SOLUTION:

An ICAC task-force coordination model: every joint operation modeled with its lead agency, its assisting agencies, its prosecution path, and its single case-file owner, so a 290-agency task force and a city department work one caseload instead of two.

EVIDENCE BASIS:

DOCUMENTED — Operation Fourth Take was led by Grovetown police with the GBI ICAC Task Force (Military.com, Oct 6, 2026). The Georgia ICAC Task Force is comprised of 290 local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, other related criminal justice agencies, and prosecutors' offices (GBI, Operation H.O.O.K. release, Oct 7, 2025). The ICAC Program was created by the U.S. Department of Justice (GBI press releases).
