RALEIGH - United States Attorney George E.B. Holding announced the launch of a new page on the United States Attorney public website that will highlight the work of United States Attorneys’ Offices on Department of Justice priorities and initiatives. The new page, the Briefing Room, will offer news, videos, photos, statistics, and other information on the efforts of the United States Attorneys’ Offices across the country. The page is available at http://www.justice.gov/usao/briefing_room/index.html.

Each month will feature a different Department priority. May 2011 is dedicated to Project Safe Childhood (PSC) and includes information on the PSC Initiative, the Department’s National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction, the upcoming National Strategy Conference on Combating Child Exploitation, press releases on significant PSC cases, statistics on convictions and sentences in PSC cases, and prevention and Internet safety resources.
