To Our Friends in Law Enforcement:

Cyberangels is the world's largest online safety and education program. Formed in 1995, we work very closely with law enforcement around the world to report child pornography and online pedophile predatorial action. Before our volunteers are permitted to work with children, or in our online tracking team, called Net Patrol, they must provide us with a letter on official law enforcement agency letterhead which identifies them to us, and informs us that they have no record on file with that particular agency.

While many law enforcement agencies provide this information as a matter of course, others have not had anyone request such a letter before. In some jurisdictions it is called a "good conduct letter." Since our volunteers apply to join online, this is one of the only ways we can be assured of the true identity of our volunteers, and given the sensitivity of our work, we would like to know about any criminal records.

If you have any questions, please feel to call me at (212) 527-7700, or send me an e-mail addressed to [email protected]. I am a lawyer as well as Cyberangels' Executive Director. In addition, should you have any questions regarding cybercrimes for which we can provide assistance, please let us know. We also have a law enforcement task force, should you be interested in joining. This task force allows members of the law enforcement community to share ideas and expertise in cybercrime matters.

We have prepared a form letter which can be photocopied onto your letterhead, if you find that simpler. Otherwise any form which provides confirmation of the volunteer's identity and a statement to the effect that you have no criminal records on file for such volunteer is sufficient.

Thank you, and as I mentioned, please feel free to contact us with any questions, or if we can be of service.

We are all in this together.

Very truly yours,

Parry Aftab, Esq.
