The mission of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC)
Task Force program is to assist state and local law enforcement
agencies in developing an effective response to cyber enticement
and child pornography cases. The Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) program is a national network of coordinated
state and local task forces engaged in proactive investigations,
forensic examinations, effective prosecutions and community
education. The ICAC program was developed in response to the
increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet,
the proliferation of child pornography, and the heightened online
activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with
underage victims. By helping state and local law enfarcement
agencies develop effective and sustainable responses to online
child victimization and child pornography, the ICAC program
delivers national resources at the local leveL In addition, the
ICAC program believes that building partnerships will reduce
child victimiaation, both in the United States and internationally.
The purpose of this document is to set minimum uniform
operational and investigative standards. These standards promote
consistency in investigations, referrals, prosecutions and other
aspects within the ICAC Task Force program. This document
does not intend to prohibit officials from using discretion and
best judgment in matters where personal or community safety is
at stake.

Investigative interest is established when there is reasonable suspicion that a
screen name or other potentially identifiable entity has committed a crime or
that entity is engaged in a sequence of activities that is likely to result in the
commission of a crime.
A proactive investigation is designed to identify, investigate and prosecute
offenders, which may or may not involve a specific target, and requires
online interaction and a significant degree of pre-operative planning.
A reactive investigation involves the investigation of a complaint of a crime.
Reasonable suspicion is established when sufficient facts exist to lead a law
enforcement officer to believe that an individual or organization is involved
in a definable criminal activity.

history that indicates prior investigative experience, court testimony skills, ability
to handle sensitive information prudently, and a genuine interest in the protection
of children.

4. Case Management
4.1 Case Predicarion and Prioritizafion
4.1.1 Cases may be initiated by referrals from the CyberTipline, Internet service
providers, or other law enforcement agencies, and by information gathered
through subject interviews, documented public sources, direct observarions of
suspicious behavior, public complaints, or by any other source acceptable under
agency policies.
4.1.2 ICAC supervisors are responsible for determining investigative priorities and
selecting cases for investigation. Assuming the information is deemed credible,

consider other factors such as jurisdiction and known offender behavioral
chazacteristics. The following prioritization scale shall be considered:
a) A child is at immediate risk of victimization
b) A child is vulnerable to victimization by a known offender
c) A known suspect is aggressively soliciting a child(ren)

Force Working Group Member by the l Oth of each month using the ICAC
Monthly Performance Measures Report.
4.23 Regional Task Forces will compile and submit their monthly performance
measures report to the OJJDP designated location before the end of the following
calendar month. This monthly report does not replace the semi-annual progress
report required by the Office of Justice Program's Financial Guide.
4.3 Undercover Invesrigations
43.1 Carefully managed undercover operations conducted by well-trained officers are
among the most effective techniques available to law enforcement for addressing
ICAC offenses. Undercover operations, when executed and documented
properly, collect virhzally unassailable evidence regardang a suspect's predilection
to exploit children.
4.3.2 ICAC supervisors are responsible for ensuring that ICAC invesrigators receive a
copy of the ICAC Operational and Investigative Standards.
43.3 ICAC investigations shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the principles
of law and due process. ICAC investigators are encouraged to work in
conjunction with their local, state or federal prosecutors.
43.4 The following minimum standards apply to ICAC investigations:

in an undercover capacity. Private citizens shall not be asked to seek out
investigative tazgets, nor shall they be authorized to act as police agents in
an online undercover capacity.
b. ICAC personnel shall not electronically upload, transmit, or forward
pomographic or sexually explicit images.
c. Otber than images or videos of individuals, age 18 or over, who have
provided their informed written consent, and at the time consent was given

consistent with agency policy. Access to these files should be restricted to
authorized personnel.
4.4.2 'I'he examination of computers and digital media shall be consistent wiUa a;ency
policy and procedure.
4.43 Child pornography is contraband and should be maintained pursuant to each

5. Information Sharing
5.1 Conventional boundaries are virivally meaningless in the electronic world of the
Intemet and the usual constraints of time, place, and distance lose their relevance.
These factors increase the possibility of ICAC agencies targeting one another,
investigating the same subject, or inadvertently disrupting an ongoing
investigation. To foster coordination, collaboration, and communication, each
ICAC agency must contribute basic case information to a common database.
5.2 Each ICAC agency shall contribute case information on all active investigations
(local, interstate, reactive and proactive) to a common database as designated by
the ICAC Working Group. This informa$on should be submitted at the earliest
practical opporiunity.
53 If any common target is identified, the initiating ICAC agency is responsible for
contacting the other law enforcement agency targeting the suspect.
5.4 Initiating ICAC agencies should also consider contacting other local, state, and
federal agencies which may be involved in similar investigations.

6. Victim Identification
6.1 Identifying child victims is a crirical element of the ICAC Program. DOJ and
OJ7DP require all Task Forces to submit child victim images to the CVIP as a
means to improve child victim identification. Absent exigent circumstances, child
victim images will be sent to the CVIP consistent witb NCMEC guidelines. In
addition, ICAC agencies are encouraged to collaborate witb NCMEC to identify
children depicted in child pornography.
6.2 A focus of the ICAC Program is to protect children. In circumstances where
reporting of child abuse is not required under existing laws, ICAC agencies aze
strongly encouraged to report instances in which a child may be at risk for abuse
or exploitation.
63 Absent exigent cucumstances, victim identifying information should be protected
from public disclosure.

Appendix A— ICAC Communications Plan 2005 - 2008
Strategic plan Deliverable 1.5 articulates the program's desire to build public awareness.
This document directly addresses the TCAC Strategic Plan 2005 — 2008 Deliverable 1.5
and the following Actions which call for the program to:
Action 1.5.1 Establish an advisory group of high-visibility public figures to assist in
communicating the ICAC program's message
Action 1.5.2 Develop and implement a multi-year coordinated national
communications plan for the ICAC program
Action 1.5.3 Coordinate with relevant organizations in the public and private sectors to
promote Intemet safety programs
Action 1.5.4 Measure the impact of the ICAC communication plan
Pur ose
The mission of the Intemet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force program is to
assist state and local law enforcement agencies in developing an effecrive response to
cyber enticement and child pornography cases. This support encompasses forensic and
investigative components, training and technical assistance, victim services, prevention
and community education. In addition, the ICAC Strategic Plan 2005 — 2008 calls for
building law enforcement capacity and reducing child victimization, both in the United
States and internationally. Tbe purpose of this communications plan is tQ link the ICAC
mission and strategic plan to the program's communications campaign. This
communications plan seeks to gain awareness, understanding and support for the ICAC
Task Force program. This plan is dynamic and will be updated as program needs evolve
and/or goals and objectives are accomplished.
Backeround
The Intemet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program is a national network of forty six
coordinated local task forces engaged in proactive investigations, forensic examinations,
effective prosecutions and community education. The ICAC program was developed in
response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Intemet, the
proliferation of child pomography, and the heightened online activity by predators
searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims. By helping sate and local law
enforcement agencies develop effective and sustainable responses to online child
victimization and child pornography, the ICAC program delivers national zesources at the
locallevel.
ICAC Communication Plan 2005 — 2008
12-16-2005

More than 30 million children in the United States use the Intemet 2 One in four
children, ages 10 through 17, who use the Internet regularly had an unwanted exposure to
sexually explicit pictures. Approximately 1 in 5 received a sexual solicitarion or
approach. The ICAC program actively protects children who use the Intemet by
proacrively investigating the on-line sexual exploitation of children by predators.
Because ICAC practitioners understand that arrests alone can not resolve the problem of
on-line vicrimization, the ICAC program is dedicated to training law enforcement and
educating parents and youth about the potential dangers online and offering safety tools.
Goals of the Communications Plan
The following represent the goals for this communications plan:
Goal 1: Develop awareness of the ICAC task force and its mission
Goa12: Promote investigative resources and training available to the law
enforcement community in an effort to build capacity
Goai 3: Reduce child victimization through awareness programs making it clear to
parents that juveniles can become victims of sexual exploitation by the

LAW ENFORCEMENT:
• Computer and Internet investigations defy conventional law enforcement concepts
regarding jurisdic$on making coordinated response efforts a must.
• The ICAC Task Farce agencies assist state and local law enforcement in creating
an effective response to online enticement and child pomography complaints
including investigative techniques, forensic support, victim services and
community education.
• The CyberTipline offers a mechanism for citizens to report online child
exploitation. Information reported is analyzed and investigative leads are
distributed to ICAC Task Force agencies.
• The ICAC Task Force Program offers technical resources for the use of the Child
Victim Identification Program (CVTP) through the National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children. CVIP offers law enforcement the ability to check their
case files for known victims as well as providing a clearinghouse for the
submission of newly identified child victims.
• The ICAC Training and Technical Assistance Program offer assistance to Task
Force agencies by developing and deploying cutting edge training in support of
ICAC initiatives.
PA32ENTS:
• When children leave home, parents ask three basic questions: Where are you
going? Who are you going with? When will you be home? These same
principles apply to the Internet. Ask your children what sites they will be
ICAC Communication Plan 2005 — 2008

(p ��'7
visiting, who they will be tallcing with and how long they will be using the
computer.
• Prepare your children for the online world as you would the real world.
• Intemet safety is about parenting — softwaze should be considered a tool, not a
solution.
• The best way to protect your children is by maintaining and establishing open
lines of communication.
• Establish a positive relationship with your children before someone else does.
• Create and post Intemet use guidelines and rules.
• Place computers in common azeas where supervision can occur.
• If an online incident occurs, express concern, listen compassionately and remain
calm. °
• Report online incidents to the CyberTipline and contact the ICAC Task Force in
your area or local law enforcement.
When discussing Internet safety with children, provide them with the following
messages:
• The Intemet is an exciting tool that needs to be used safely.
• Do not shaze your personal information or picture on line.
• Tell a parent or trusted adult if something makes you feel scared, uncomfortable
or confused.
• Do not meet in person with anyone you first met online.
• Develop and maintain open lines of communication with your parents.
• Do not share your password with anyone except your parent or guardian, not even
your best friend.
• Ignore and refrain from responding to mean or threatening emails or instant
messages.
Implementation Strate�v
The communications plan will use websites, Public Service Announcements, community
presentations, videos, posters, FAQs, contact lists, fact sheets, best practice documents,
ICAC Communication Plan 2005 — 2008
12-16-2005
b� ��'��
resource manuals, brochures, newsletters, publications, television shows, movie theaters,
media contacts and parinerships as tools for implementation as budget allows.
Implementation Resources
In an effort to share information and put forth a unified message, current and newly

Submission Requirements for Newly Identified Victims
The United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) is assisting the Narional Center for
Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the National Child Victim Identification
Program (NCVIP) in developing a comprehensive system to track images of identified
children featured in online child pornography. NCMEC maintains law enforcement point of
contacts for idenYified children seen in such images. This information will be used to assist
law enforcement agencies and prosecutors with determining if child pomography images
contain children who have been identified in past investigations.
The USPIS, through their Postal Inspector liaison at the NCMEC and NCVIP, is contacting
law enforcement agencies when there are reports of newly identified child victims. We are
contacting these agencies to obtain the images for inclusion in the systems. Once processed
by NCMEC, all new victim information will be transferred and entered into the NCVIP
system, located at the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) Cyber Crimes
Center. ICE will retain your submission unless you request it be returned to you.
If your agency has identified a child victim featured in pornographic images, we would
appreciate your assistance by providing us with the items and information below:
• Digital copies of the pornographic images of the known child victim (do not send
originals)
• Name of investigating agency and case number
• Specific contact information of the investigating law enforcement officer or agent
who knows the victim. Also, include the preferred method of contact (email,
telephone, mailing address, etc)
• Suspect's name and relationship to victim
• Email addresses and screen names of the offender as NCMEC may have relevant
CyberTipline reports to the case
• DOB ofvictim
• Information regarding image distribution
• Age range of the child when the images were produced
• Date range of when images were produced
• Approximate number of images in series
• Media format of series (i.e. digital images, videotapes, Polaroid)
• Additional case information
