and adult sex trafficking.

encounter in their respective records management system in accordance with 
their assigned department policy.

Customer apprehension program:

by sex buyers and predators who operate in a geographical area where there are 
known sex buyers. Once probable cause is established investigators may 
disclose the hotel location or hotel room to the suspect (as needed) or take the 
suspect in custody on location if applicable. The exact locations of the operation 
will only be disclosed with permission of Agency command to avoid multiple 
suspects arriving at the same time. Assigned Detectives will assist with workups 
and identification of suspects prior to the suspects arrival, if applicable.

and prostituted persons. The undercover officers and detectives posing as 
juveniles and/or traffickers will field calls/texts/emails from suspects and set a 
“date” after an agreement for sexual services is determined.

Utilizing current ICAC and sex crimes detectives (for Avondale and sub-contractors- Buckeye, Goodyear, and 
MCSO) brings the benefit of utilizing online investigations techniques, and advanced forensic interview experience 
learned through their current positions.
Having all detectives located at the same facility allows for better communication and coordination for the task 
force and any activity relating to undercover operations. In addition, utilizing overtime for current detectives allows 
the four agencies time to get the project started immediately. This will enable the four agencies to arrange for more 
permanent solutions beyond the project timeline, and plan more strategically.
