Almost 300 child sex offenders have been arrested in the last 12 months by officers from a dedicated unit.
Results published by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre show 297 offenders have been arrested and 131 children protected from further abuse.
Ten of the highest risk offenders were caught after their details were posted on the centre's 'Most Wanted' website.
Officers have also infiltrated and dismantled six paedophile rings - all of which had international connections outside the UK.
Almost one million images of child sex abuse have been examined in a bid to build up intelligence about offenders and bring them to account.
Officers were able to identify 18 victims from the images and help safeguard them from further abuse.
The centre has received 5,812 reports of abuse in the 12 months from last April - a 76% increase from 2006/07. It has also seen its number of arrests triple in that period.
Jim Gamble, CEOP Centre Chief Executive, said its success was the result of working with other child protection agencies.
He said: "By us all working together 131 children are now safeguarded from some of the worst abuse imaginable - that is true impact. So I hope offenders take note. Look at the ways in which together we are infiltrating your worlds, understanding your minds in order to limit deviant behaviour and I hope you think again.
"If you are abusing children then we, through applying collaborative skills, working with local and international forces, harnessing the commitment from all sectors, will track you down."
