The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) is a multi-jurisdictional task force that investigates and prosecutes individuals who use the internet to exploit children.
The task force is funded by a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and administered through the Utah Attorney General’s Office.
ICAC Tip Line: 801.281.1211

The Utah Attorney General ICAC Task Force was created in 2000 and is one of 61 ICAC task forces in the country. Because so many internet crimes against children cross state lines, the state affiliates work closely together (very unique compared to regular police task forces). Utah’s ICAC has 65 (affiliates) local, state and federal police agencies involved in the task force and over 180 ICAC Task Force police officers throughout the state.
In addition to investigators and prosecutors, the Utah AG office employs a full time Education Specialist and sponsors the Digital Respons-Ability program to educate children, parents and community on Internet Safety presentations.
