Welcome to the SMACtalk for Teachers podcast!

This is part of the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education's SMACtalk initiative. A monthly podcast featuring interviews with prominent educators working with education and technology, SMACtalk for Teachers has a different theme for every episode centered around promoting online safety and security for educators.

In this episode, we have a conversation with Connor Hagan, FBI Public Affairs Officer about how the FBI is working with school districts in an effort combat "Sextortion".

If you know someone who may be a victim of sextortion in Arkansas:
1. Contact the FBI’s Arkansas Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force at 501-221-9100.
2. Do not delete anything before law enforcement is able to review it.
3. Tell law enforcement everything about the online encounters. It may be embarrassing, but it is necessary
to find the predator.
