The Child Exploitation Tracking System (CETS)In 2003, Microsoft Canada, the Toronto Police and the RCMP embarked on a revolutionary project to create an intelligence database to help law enforcement around the globe store, share and analyze large amounts of information relating to online child exploitation. Simple idea. Revolutionary impact. |

Improving Public PolicyThe online exploitation of children is a 21st century crime that is often governed by 20th century laws and policies. Microsoft Canada works closely with the University of Toronto's Centre for Innovation, Law and Policy (CILP) to research the legal and policy issues related to online child exploitation. Together, they produced a whitepaper with recommended changes for the Attorney General of Ontario. |
