Attorney General agents can investigate trafficking and online child crimes

Agents appointed by Montana’s Attorney General are peace officers. They can assist city, county, state, and federal police when asked. They share authority to investigate dangerous drugs, organized crime, human trafficking, prostitution, and internet crimes against children, and they enforce state gambling laws. They also investigate criminal violations found in state agency audits or referred by the State Workers’ Compensation Insurance Fund. The law defines internet crimes against children as using technology to commit or help commit a crime against a child, including sexual assault, sexual abuse of children, and child sex trafficking.
