ICAC stands for Internet Crimes Against Children. ICAC is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces, representing over 5,400 federal, state, and local law enforcement, dedicated to investigating, prosecuting and developing effective responses to internet crimes against children. Illinois has 2 ICAC task forces, operated by the Illinois Attorney General's Office and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, respectively. The Elgin Police Department partners with both of these task forces.
The National Center For Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) is the digital clearing house for all child exploitation material in the United States. Social media companies and citizens report online child exploitation to NCMEC which then forwards investigations to ICAC task forces. As a member of ICAC task forces, Elgin Police Department investigates these types of cases. We also investigate reports made by the public here in the City of Elgin and work with the Kane County Child Advocacy Center and Cook County Child Advocacy Center regarding online child exploitation.
