The software, called Computer COP, is available at most Smith County offices including all constable and JP offices, the Courthouse Annex, Sheriff\u2019s Office and Cotton Belt Building.   \u201cThis provides parents insight into who their children are talking to online,\u201d Sheriff J.B. Smith said. \u201cParents have a responsibility to monitor and protect their children online just as they do in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a county news release, the software helps parents monitor what their children are doing online by compiling an image review and text review which flags key words and phrases from emails and online conversations.  The software runs off a disc and does not need to be downloaded onto the computer\u2019s hard drive. It is compatible with Windows 95 through Vista.   \u201cConsistent monitoring and awareness of our children\u2019s activities are critical to their safety,\u201d County Judge Joel Baker said. \u201dThis is a tool that can help parents combat on-line predators and encourage Internet safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Smith County Sheriff\u2019s Office purchased the programs with drug forfeiture funds. More than 3,000 copies are available on a first come, first serve basis.
