ICAC

WHAT IS ICAC?

The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) is a multi-jurisdictional task force that investigates and prosecutes individuals who use the internet to entice or exploit children.

Davis County Sheriff’s Office is an affiliate member with the Utah Attorney General’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.  Davis County Attorney’s Office has been associated with this Task Force since its inception.

ICAC Task Force also works closely with the U.S. Marshal’s Sex Offender Investigation Bureau (SOIB) with conducting federal Adam Walsh cases which monitor sex offenders crossing state lines without registering.

A survey revealed that 1 in 5 teens have received an unwanted online request to engage in sexual activities or provide sexual information.  One in four teens have been exposed to online pornography.

Two-thirds of Utah households have a computer, which is more than any other state in the United States.  Almost half of the homes in Utah have internet access.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF:

• Someone in my home receives an email or file that contains child pornography?
• My child has been sexually solicited by someone who knows that my child is under 18?
• My child has received sexually explicit messages from someone who knows that my child is under 18?

In all instances, do not attempt to copy or forward any of the images or messages on your computer.  Turn the monitor off immediately to preserve the evidence.
