ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — In 2023, INTERCEPT Task Force received 663 cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which initiated 583 investigations covering the counties of Nassau, Duval, Clay, Putnam and St. Johns.
The INTERCEPT Task Force is made up of seven agencies across five counties in Northeast Florida that are not restricted by jurisdictional boundaries that could prevent law enforcement from finding the people who prey on some of the most vulnerable citizens in our area. "It's having local, state and federal level folks working together, being cross-sworn, so everybody can work together within all those jurisdictions, so we can truly take a regional approach and not worry about a jurisdictional boundary," said Lendvay.Alejandro Carmona-Fonseca
