PROTECTING #JUSTONE MORE

THE NCPTF'S GLOBAL REACH

Since 2019, the NCPTF has helped law enforcement recover countless survivors of exploitation, identify hundreds of children in child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), and trained tens of thousands of law enforcement worldwide.

Get Involved
June 2023 | During the fifth annual National Child Protection Task Force conference, a call came in that a young girl was missing.

The NCPTF worked alongside volunteer investigators and conference attendees to provide key information that resulted in the recovery of two survivors and discovery of a third exploited child. The girls were recovered safely in under 24 hours and the suspected trafficker was arrested.
