A complete model of support.
Protecting children takes more than funding. It takes technology, training, personnel, collaboration, and the operational capacity to keep pace with a challenge that grows more complex every year. Operation Light Shine equips law enforcement across all of it.
The will is there. The resources aren’t.
Reports of child exploitation have grown dramatically while investigative funding has barely moved. Cases that could be solved get shelved for lack of resources. We close that gap.
We work with every investigator fighting for kids.
Some of the investigators we support work in coordinated multi-agency task forces. Others are single detectives at standalone agencies. What they share is the work, and a need for resources their budgets won’t stretch to. Wherever the fight is happening, we put support behind it.
The tools that change how cases move.
Digital forensic technology processes evidence faster, surfaces connections investigators could not find on their own, and limits exposure to the most difficult material. The right tools speed a case and protect the well-being of the people working it.
Investigators focused solely on protecting children.
Many agencies cannot afford to assign an investigator to these cases full time. Salary reimbursement changes that, so experienced investigators can dedicate themselves entirely to the work.
“The financial assistance allowed us to dedicate a detective solely to these cases. That wasn’t possible before.”
The capacity to pursue every lead.
Cases stall when resources run short. Operation Light Shine provides the operational support that lets agencies pursue cases they lacked the capacity to work before, moving investigations from lead to resolution.

Stronger together than apart.
Some of the most important work happens when agencies stop working in isolation. Operation Light Shine brings federal, state, and local partners into the same room, combining expertise, jurisdiction, and capability around a shared purpose. When agencies coordinate, investigations move faster and reach further.
Help agencies put dedicated people on these cases.
- Salary reimbursement so an agency can assign a detective full time
- Funded analyst positions to work the data behind each case
- Overtime so active operations don’t stall
Help agencies fund the work itself.
- Direct funding for active investigations
- Vehicles and equipment for the field
- Office space, supplies, and infrastructure
- Training on emerging threats
Help investigators work with professional-grade tools.
- Forensic software that processes evidence in days instead of months
- Tools from Magnet Forensics, CaseScan, Pathfinder Paradigm, ADF, and BitMindz
- Review stations that surface connections manual work can’t find
Protection begins before harm occurs.
Responding to these crimes is only part of the work. Operation Light Shine helps equip parents, teachers, and communities to recognize the warning signs early, so families can protect children before a child ever becomes a victim.
Together We protect.
