The Unit is comprised of two assistant prosecutors, one of whom serves as the Unit director, detectives and support staff. The Unit investigates and prosecutes a variety of crimes, including online theft and auction fraud, electronically communicated threats, network intrusions, online child predation, and the possession and distribution of child pornography. Additionally, the Computer Crimes Unit provides investigative and legal support to other units/agencies involved in the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving electronic evidence. The Computer Crimes Unit is a member of the New Jersey Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and works closely with the New Jersey State Police, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and other State and Federal agencies in combating online child predation and other computer-facilitated crimes that target children. Community education is a priority of the Computer Crimes Unit. Unit members conduct numerous Internet Safety Lectures a year for professional and community groups, school-aged children, educators and administrators.
