We often see in the media incidents of children exploited through the internet.  For those who would want to know how these crimes are investigated, there is the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. 

The Greenville Police Department is  an active member of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The ICAC Task Force Program helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to cyber enticement and child pornography cases.

When a case report is made, GPD detectives can work with other detectives from various jurisdictions to obtain evidence and internet data, and then successfully prosecute these case wherever the crimes occur.

This task force approach encompasses forensic and investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, and community education. The ICAC Program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces. This Program consists of a national network of state and local agencies dedicated to developing effective responses to the online enticement of children by sexual predators, child exploitation, and child obscenity and pornography cases.

The National Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program is dedicated to
increasing the investigative capabilities of State and local law enforcement officers and prosecutors in the detection and investigation of internet crimes offenses against children.  ICAC is dedicated to the identification and apprehension of offenders, especially those including technology-facilitated child exploitation offenses.
