The
Wichita - Sedgwick County Exploited and Missing Child Unit is a joint program comprised of
social workers from the Kansas Social and Rehabilitation Services
and investigators from the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, and the Wichita Police
Department.
The
mission of the Exploited and Missing Child Unit (EMCU) is to
investigate child sexual abuse, missing and abducted children,
identify offenders and present evidence for the prosecution of
violators of the laws of the State of Kansas with the least amount
of trauma to the child victims, and to provide services and
facilitate resources to the victims and their families.
Another
aspect and duty of the EMCU is the identification and investigation
of internet exploitation of and internet crimes against
children. Duties include the detection and identification of
sexual predators using the internet to lure children into unlawful
activities.
The
investigation phase includes interviewing the victim, all witnesses,
and the perpetrator. Because of the sensitivity of these cases,
investigators form the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, Wichita
Police Department, and SRS have been specially trained. This is to
reduce the trauma to the children and to facilitate a thorough
investigation in this field.
