The Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force works tirelessly to identify and prosecute people who use technology and the Internet to victimize children.  Within the Indiana State Police there are 14 highly-motivated, fiercely dedicated, and extensively trained men and women. These detectives investigate online child enticement inclusive of the production, dissemination, advertisement, receipt, and possession of child pornography. Forensic Examiners conduct both on-scene and centralized forensic examinations of computers, phones, and other digital media collected for evidence, all in support of the investigator assigned to investigate the complaint.

The Indiana State Police leads the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and has over 50 affiliate criminal justice agencies throughout the state. Crimes Against Children Unit detectives are also trained as Digital Media Recovery Specialists (DMRS). This allows them to conduct forensically sound previews of computers, phones, and digital media with the support of examiners assigned to the Cyber Crime Unit.
