Operation Ore has led to thousands of UK arrests.
Police want a new body to be set up to investigate internet child pornography.
It comes as new figures show arrests and convictions for downloading such images have quadrupled in two years.
Home Office figures, revealed by children's charity NCH, showed 2,234 people were charged or cautioned in 2003, compared with 549 in 2001.
The BBC has learned the proposed unit - dubbed the UK Internet Safety Centre - would be staffed by police, charity workers and computer experts.
"What NCH says is that we want a new national centre - and we want it now."

Do you want society in general or and the government in particular to fight child porn on the internet or do you want them to accept it as inevitable and as a normality ?
I have a sad feeling that if the government got remotely serious on this issue, it would have to start building prisons to cope with the amount of offenders. I think as with many aspects of peadophilia an "out of sight out of mind" attutude prevails to cover the difficult and shameful questions it raises.
Originally posted by ivanhoeI see this as exactly analogous to how I want the so-called 'War on Terrorism' conducted. It seems obvious to me that child porn should be combatted by the law, but I hope this 'Internet Safety Centre' respects privacy rights of individuals. Often, for particularly nasty crimes, public hysteria is seen by the authorities as license to do some very dodgy things, as we've seen in the WoT (Google 'Babar Ahmad'😉, and I hope the public won't condone things like wiretapping, illegal searches, etc.

Originally posted by ivanhoeIf we prosecute people who look at pictures of the crrme of child molestation, should we also track down these who like to look at films of assaults?
