Safe Mode, Inc

Safe Mode is an organization dedicated to providing education and training to members of the community, and law enforcement, about how to address the dangers facing children online. Topics available include sexting, child pornography, luring a minor for sexual acts, cyber bullying, sex trafficking, and furnishing harmful images to minors. Audience-specific programs are specially tailored for parents or guardians of children, school-aged minors, and law enforcement investigating these internet-based crimes. The founders of Safe Mode, as well as all instructors, have worked or are currently involved in law enforcement investigations of internet crimes involving children. Experienced investigators, as well as state and federal prosecutors, will share their knowledge and expertise regarding how online crimes occur, how to protect children from being victimized, as well as how to best support and communicate with children regarding these issues. Because of their extensive law enforcement background, presenters can also speak to investigators currently working in the area of Internet Crimes Against Children and provide practical guidance on how to recognize and minimize secondary trauma. Presentations can be made at schools, parent organizations, community centers, assemblies, church groups, or any other organized settings designed to educate the community. Resources will be provided to attendees in the form of brochures and information packets regarding the material presented.
