The Child Protection System, which lets officers search by country, state, city or county, displays a ranked list of the internet addresses downloading the most problematic files. The tool looks for images that have been reported to or seized by police and categorized as depicting children under age 12. The Child Protection System "has had a bigger effect for us than any tool anyone has ever created. "They have made it so automated and simple that the guys are just sitting there waiting to be arrested." It's been huge," said Dennis Nicewander, assistant state attorney in Broward County, Florida, who has used the software to prosecute about 200 cases over the last decade. The Child Rescue Coalition gives its technology for free to law enforcement agencies, and it is used by about 8,500 investigators in all 50 states. It's used in 95 other countries, including Canada, the U.K. Since 2010, the nonprofit has trained about 12,000 law enforcement investigators globally. It will show up in your Services menu when you right click after selecting some files.Still, it's a drop in the ocean of online child sexual abuse material in circulation.

To install, just drop it into ~/Library/Services or double click the file and let it install itself. If you want to edit it, either replace the section, or run the chunk of text through a CSS formatter and get the pretty version. The style of the page is in a compressed format, not to obscure it, just to keep things optimized. Open up the Service in Automator and edit the very first line. You only need to configure your Dropbox ID, which you can find as a string of numbers in any public url (the long version) that you create. Once it’s run, there’s a dated HTML file in the root public folder that you can send a public link to. It doesn’t move them to Dropbox for you, it just makes the links once they’re there and in your public folder (or any subfolder of it). It takes a selection of files in your Dropbox public folder and creates a web page with links to each, as well as a button for opening them all in tabs. I made this to save him some time, but thought it might help a few of you out, too. He shared the public links to a group of people who didn’t all use Dropbox, so he’d spend a fair amount of time grabbing links and pasting them into emails. I wrote this Service a while ago for a friend who kept all of his mockups in Dropbox folders to share.
