ICE has created a smartphone app – the first of its kind in U.S. federal law enforcement – designed to seek the public's help with fugitive and unknown suspect child predators.

The Operation Predator app enables users to receive alerts about wanted predators, to share the information with friends via email and social media tools, and to provide information to HSI by calling or submitting an online tip. Additionally, the app allows users to view news about arrests and prosecutions of child predators and additional resources about ICE and its global partners in the fight against child exploitation.

The iOS version of the app can be downloaded from Apple's App Store and iTunes.

HSI requests anyone with information about the fugitives profiled to contact the agency in one of two ways, which can be done through the app:

Call the ICE Tip Line, which is staffed 24-hours a day: (866) 347-2423 from the U.S. & Canada; TTY for hearing impaired: (802) 872-6196 or (802) 872-6199 from anywhere in the world, or;

Individuals should not attempt to apprehend the suspect personally.
