DODGE COUNTY, Wis. (WFRV) – The Dodge County Sheriff's Office made several arrests in 2024 as part of its efforts to combat internet crimes against children (ICAC), working closely with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Three detectives specializing in ICAC investigations received 19 cyber tips from the center throughout the year. While some tips involved situations not rising to a criminal level due to the age of the offenders, detectives counseled families and provided resources to address these behaviors.
