WATCH – Online Child Protection.

Building safer digital spaces for children through research, awareness, and coordinated action. WATCH-COP brings together parents, guardians, and agencies to prevent online exploitation and strengthen protections for every child.

The Bureau advances child protection in cyberspace by creating resources and training materials that empower families and caretakers to keep children safe online. WATCH-COP unifies stakeholders and focuses support on research, education, and response programs that strengthen digital child safety.

WATCH-COP shares critical intelligence with partner agencies to support the analysis and prosecution of online child exploitation. Our dedicated support center makes it easier to report suspicious activity, seek guidance, and access prevention tools.
