Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Unit Division of Criminal Investigation

The Wisconsin Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is a national leader in fighting Internet crimes against children. Total arrests for 2005 were 120 --- exceeding a previous national ICAC task force record.

In September 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice began a national Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force program to counter the emerging threat of offenders using the Internet or other online technology to sexually exploit children.  Under this program, regional ICAC task forces serve as sources of prevention, education and investigative expertise to provide assistance to parents, teachers, law enforcement and other professionals working on child victimization issues.  Wisconsin's ICAC Task Force has been administered through the Wisconsin Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation since its inception in the spring of 1999.
