Presentations Available Throughout Georgia

It is often stated by parents that they feel their child knows more about the computer than they do. Our kids may be more advanced with the new technologies, but they are not as experienced or mature as their parents are and they need their parents' involvement in this part of their lives. With this in mind, the Georgia ICAC Task Force has focused on education and prevention in addition to investigation. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation/Georgia ICAC and The Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) have worked collaboratively to implement a statewide program of volunteers trained to give classes and presentations to communities and parent groups as needed. The volunteers, consisting of officers from local police stations, sheriff's offices, and professional organizations, are available for short presentations covering topics of interest. Presenters are certified by GaCSI (the Georgia Cybersafety Initiative) after successfully completing a 20 hour course of instruction covering the following topics:

Personal Information and Privacy
Risks and Misuses of Technology
Predator and Victim Profiles
Trends - Web 2.0 Applications
Trends - Gaming and Virtual Worlds
Newest Devices
Parent Cybersafety Suggestions
Technology Tools and Strategies to Keep Children Safer Online
