(KSL News) -- A teenager's video game skills helped prosecutors take sexual predators off the streets.

The Utah Attorney General's Office awarded 15-year old Zach Loulias today for his volunteer work with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Prosecutors say Zach teaches officers how to play video games and helps them with slang words so they can pose as minors, while talking to predators online.

Zach Loulias, Honored Volunteer: "I never thought I'd get an award for playing games all day."

Attorney General Mark Shurtleff made Zach an honorary officer for all his hard work.
