Historical Context

CEOP launched in April 2006 with Home Office backing, secured its first conviction in June that year and reported disrupting 262 offender networks and over 1,000 arrests by 2010. Integrated into the National Crime Agency in October 2013, its partnership approach now informs Suffolk Police investigations of online abuse after recent child deaths, showing coordinated policing and public involvement shape today’s child-safety strategy.
