| 2022 | On Track | High Performing |
| 2023 | On Track | N/A |
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.
