DHS/ICE/PIA-017(a) – Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Child Exploitation Tracking System (ICE-CETS)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Child Exploitation Tracking System (ICE-CETS), which is owned and operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), is a centralized information repository that assists law enforcement in conducting child exploitation investigations.  The ICE-CETS database aggregates tips and lead information about Internet-facilitated child sexual exploitation crimes in a single repository allowing investigators to identify links in otherwise unrelated matters to reduce redundant investigative work.  The original Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was published on January 19, 2010.  With this update to the PIA, ICE is expanding the use of ICE-CETS within DHS to permit select U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel to access and directly query data within the system.  August 28, 2013
