Australian Federal Police officers have been deployed to three remote Northern Territory communities to counter child sexual abuse.
A review commissioned by the AFP and NT police revealed "very disturbing and concerning" levels of child exploitation and online grooming in certain Indigenous communities.
AFP deputy commissioner of operations Brett Pointing said police were working on addressing the report's findings.
Eight new technology detection dogs with the ability to sniff out USBs and hard drives have been stood up.
"In terms of child sex offending, sadly, one of the things (offenders) hold dear to their heart is their library of images," Deputy Commissioner Pointing told Senate estimates on Monday.
Police are also working closely with Indigenous elders who are worried about child safety in their communities.
Funding has been put aside to increase strike team and intelligence capabilities to tackle the issue.
There are currently 68 full-time staff working to combat child exploitation in Brisbane but officers are also integrated within state and territory child exploitation teams.
