## Threat Banding - FBI New York (NY) Crimes Against Children (CAC) is a Band II threat, which is consistent with field offices in the region, FBI Newark (NK) and FBI Philadelphia (PH). Both comparative offices are a Band II under the CAC threat. ## Threat Profile vs National Threat Picture - The CAC threat for NY is similar to the national threat picture., NY focused on the production of CSAM, sextortion, online enticement, and travelers. ## Intel Production for Banded Threats - FBI NY CAC intelligence production is commensurate with a Band II threat when compared to NK and PH. Half of NY’s FY23 CAC strategic production focused on online groups extorting minors to harm themselves or others, a cross-programmatic threat that is being led by a NY DT squad. ## Level of Engagement with HQ - NY maintains consistent communication with CACHTU, and routinely provides thorough and timely updates regarding significant events within its AOR. - In FY23, NY co-authored a PSA and EIR with CACHTIU. CACHTIU facilitated a briefing by NY at a virtual sub-IPC on Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. ## Initiatives - NY maintains an effective and productive Group I UCO. ## Areas of Opportunity/Program Strengths - In FY23, NY opened 88 new investigations, approximately 70% of which address Tier I/Tier II threats. ## Program Weaknesses & Recommendations: - CACHTU recommends NY continue to target Tier I and Tier II offenders and increase its target for activities to interrupt the threat significantly. ## Additional Important Information: - NY effectively utilizes two CEHTTFs, which have 15 funded TFOs, to build relationships with its state/local partners.
