In response to Internet dangers, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason applied for specialized grant funding from the United States Department of Justice in 1999 to launch Ohio ICAC, an alliance of city, county, state and federal law enforcement authorities dedicated to the apprehension and prosecution of Internet child predators and child pornographers, and the education of parents and children about Internet safety.

Ohio ICAC began in northeast Ohio, and its rapid success resulted in a request from the U.S. Department of Justice to expand its efforts statewide. The Northern Ohio Justice Collaborative (NOJC), a non-profit collaboration of law enforcement agencies and universities dedicated to the pursuit and effective implementation of grant-funded justice initiatives, is assisting in this statewide expansion.

Currently, the Task Force is comprised of over 240 partner law enforcement agencies, including the offices of county sheriffs and county prosecutors, as well as local police departments, the FBI, and the United States Attorney’s offices for the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio.

For more information on Ohio ICAC Partners, including how to join the Task Force, please call (216) 698-2499.
