The Internet Crimes Unit is a “one-stop-shop” for all questions/concerns regarding internet safety or crime, which serves the general public, schools, and the law enforcement community. Crimes like identity theft, financial fraud, sexual exploitation, child victimization and terrorism are prevalent and are either committed via the internet or furthered through the use of the internet. This unit serves as an initial point of contact for citizen inquiries; a repository for public safety information; provides statewide deconfliction for investigations; and offers criminal intelligence analysis for law enforcement agencies and computer evidence recovery for investigations and trial preparation. The unit can be contacted by clicking on the button “Report an Internet Crime” or by calling our toll-free number 1-888-70-CRIME (1-888-702-7463).
Illinois Sex Offender Information
The information on the Registry refers only to sex offenses and/or certain crimes against children and may not reflect the entire criminal history of a particular individual. A complete public record of Illinois criminal history can be obtained from the Illinois State Police Bureau of Identification. The information contained on this site does not imply listed individuals will commit a specific type of crime in the future, nor does it imply that if a future crime is committed by a listed individual what the nature of that crime may be. ISP makes no representation as to any offender’s likelihood of re-offending. Information compiled on this Registry may not be used to harass or threaten sex offenders or their families. Harassment, stalking or threats may violate Illinois criminal law.
Office of Executive Inspector General
The OEIG acts as an independent agency whose function is to investigate fraud and abuse in State government. Specifically, the Office of Executive Inspector General receives and fairly investigates complaints of violations of any law, rule or regulation or abuse of authority or other forms of misconduct by officers, employees and appointees of State agencies under its jurisdiction and vendors and others doing business with the State. The Executive Inspector General may report any findings of misconduct to the Governor, and may recommend measures to prevent the future occurrence of investigated instances of fraud, abuse or misconduct. The Executive Inspector General refers findings establishing criminal conduct to the appropriate prosecuting authority.
The Office of Executive Inspector General recognizes that the majority of State employees and officials are hardworking and honest individuals. However, when evidence of actual or apparent impropriety exists in State government, it must be effectively and objectively dealt with either administratively or through the court system. It is the goal of the Office of Executive Inspector General to heighten the trust of Illinoisans in the functions of State government.
