MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT) OUR RESCUE AND Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Arizona This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) will govern contributions from the U.S. based non- governmental organization Our Rescue to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (“Receiving LEA”) for the purpose of combatting child exploitation and human trafficking, as well as rescuing victims of these crimes. This MOU is created to establish a formal relationship of collaboration between Our Rescue and Receiving LEA. This collaboration will include Our Rescue donating to Receiving LEA the following items: - Casescan (4 license) $9,860.00 and xBit Forensic Software $7,650.00. Total $17,510.00. Our Rescue is a non-profit organization that exists to protect children from sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. This mission is best accomplished through collaboration with Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), both in the U.S. and abroad. Our Rescue recognizes that LEAs have the authority to enforce the laws relating to human trafficking and child exploitation and are therefore best positioned to conduct investigative and operational activities in this fight. Our Rescue is committed to empowering domestic and foreign LEAs by providing tools, training and technology to enhance their abilities to combat child exploitation. Our Rescue is fully sustained by donors who generously give to help save children from being victimized by sexual predators and to identify, rescue and heal those who have fallen prey to human trafficking. Receiving LEA’s agreement to receive this support will entail providing Our Rescue with only information you are legally allowed to provide, to include numbers of any individuals arrested and/or victims identified during your investigation. Our Rescue does not require any names or case identifiers, only raw numbers. Furthermore, if forensic analysis of any devices located leads to the identification of a victim/s, those numbers are requested to facilitate program evaluation. These numbers will be used to assure our donors the support provided is being used effectively in the fight against human trafficking and child exploitation. Additionally, only with your agency’s approval, Our Rescue will utilize your press releases to show donors how their donations resulted in positive outcomes. Information provided by your agency will not be released without your agency’s consent. By accepting the Donation, you agree that the Donation will be provided to police units charged with investigating human trafficking/child exploitation related offenses and will be used for that purpose. Upon request by Our Rescue, Receiving LEA agrees to provide documentation showing that the Donation was used for the agreed purpose. Acceptance of any Our Rescue support shall not create any requirements or obligations by Receiving LEA except for those specifically stated in the preceding paragraphs.
