Jim Cole retired as a Supervisory Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) after nearly 35 years spanning the U.S. Army, local law enforcement where he supervised a criminal investigations division, and the federal level with HSI. In 2010 he founded HSI’s Victim Identification Program and Laboratory at the Cyber Crimes Center in Fairfax, Virginia, a program that has since identified and rescued thousands of children worldwide. As Section Chief, he pioneered a victim-centric investigative methodology that shifted the priority of CSAM investigations from prosecution to child rescue, reshaping how federal agencies approach this work. He also managed R&D projects on digital image and video forensics and biometrics in collaboration with DARPA, IARPA, the FBI, and the DHS Science and Technology Directorate, producing significant advances in media forensics for child exploitation investigations.
Jim co-founded Project VIC, a global collaboration between law enforcement, NGOs, and technology providers to make CSAM investigations faster and less psychologically damaging for investigators. He served as Chair of the INTERPOL Specialists Group on Crimes Against Children from 2019 to 2023, and testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in 2024 on AI-powered CSAM identification technology. Since retiring from HSI, Jim has continued to advance child protection through senior advisory roles at Our Rescue and as a Founding Partner of ONEMI Global Solutions.
Jon Rouse served 39 years with the Queensland Police Service, dedicating the majority of his career to crimes against children. In 2001 he joined Task Force Argos, one of the world’s most respected child protection units. There, he led a series of landmark international operations including Operation Rhodes (in which law enforcement covertly administered a 45,000-member global offender network) and Operation Achilles, which resulted in the removal of more than 60 children from abusive situations and arrests across six countries. He later led the Covert Online Operations team, Victim Identification Unit, and Training team at the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), and served as Chair of the INTERPOL Covert Internet Investigations Working Group. He also served as Interim Victims’ Commissioner for the Queensland Department of Justice and for 16 years as a Facilitator and Instructor at the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
Jon received the Champion for Children Award from ICMEC, was named Queensland Australian of the Year in 2019, and holds the Australian Police Medal. He currently holds professorships at both Monash University’s AiLECS Lab, focused on the ethical use of AI in law enforcement, and UNSW’s Childlight Hub, where his research centers on technology-facilitated child sexual abuse and the rights of survivors. He is a Founding Partner of ONEMI Global Solutions.
