The overall goal of the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force (WMCCTF) is to safeguard children by focusing on Internet sexual predators that may attempt to sexually abuse, injure, or molest children within the enforcement area.  The WMCCTF also focuses on community education regarding internet safety in an effort to proactively protect children from internet sexual predators.

The WMCCTF service area consists of 27 of Missouri’s 114 counties, covering a geographic area of more than 15,000 square miles, and including approximately 26 % of the state’s population.  Since its inception in 2006, the WMCCTF has used a combination of state grant funding and Task Force member organization funding for its operations.

The WMCCTF is comprised of task force officers from numerous cooperating law enforcement agencies throughout the region.
