High Point and Greensboro police are teaming up with the FBI on a new Triad Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force that will zero in on online child predators and a growing backlog of cybertips. The three-officer unit, based at High Point Police Department, is designed to give investigators more time and federal backup when leads cross city or state lines. Officials say the partnership comes in direct response to a sharp rise in reports of kids being targeted online.
Triad ICAC Task Force At A Glance
The task force roll-out follows what officials describe as a dramatic spike in cyber tips funneled to the state ICAC program, more than 52,000 in 2025, a surge that stretched local agencies thin, according to WXII 12. The new unit will be staffed by one investigator from High Point and two from Greensboro, and all three will be sworn with the FBI so they can follow digital trails wherever they lead. Working out of High Point Police headquarters, the team will focus on reviewing tips, identifying suspects and coordinating arrests across different jurisdictions.
