We build modern technologies to help our partners rescue children from sexual exploitation.
A non-profit whose technologies are used by thousands of law enforcement officers worldwide, enabling them to find new victims faster. Our partners put our technologies into the popular tool suites used by law enforcement each day.
The Project VIC Technology Ecosystem
We provide the building blocks for the automation used by law enforcement to find and rescue children.
Transforming the approach to child exploitation investigations internationally by developing and adopting innovative technologies and victim-centric forensic workflows.
VICS Data Model
A model that
serves as the foremost analytic model for the child crimes investigation domain increasing interoperability between investigation tools.

About Us
We lead a growing coalition of law enforcement agencies, private sector companies, and volunteers who champion innovative technologies and victim-centric investigation methods.
More than 30 vendors have implemented our technology and put that technology into the hands of thousands of law enforcement officers. Join our coalition today by implementing our technologies or volunteer with us.
Our Process
We have a simple, yet robust and effective process.
We work with technology companies and law enforcement organizations to develop new technologies. Sometimes technologies are donated to us for implementation into the Project VIC ecosystem. No matter the source, our goal remains to provide investigators with modern technologies that help them find and rescue children. Here is our approach.
1. Develop New Technologies With Our Partners
2. Our Partners Implement the Technology in Popular Tool Suites
3. Project VIC Validates the Technology Implementation
4. Law Enforcement Uses the Technology in Investigations
Ready to start working together with us?
Project VIC International is here to assist in any way we can to help law enforcement find and rescue children from sexual exploitation.
Contribute new tech
We welcome new technology partners who want to contribute their technologies to the Project VIC ecosystem.
