“Any offender that we bring to justice is a win for society, is a win for children, is a win for us.”

Detective Ryan Ellis of the North Florida INTERCEPT Task Force shares the impact of Operation Firewall, a coordinated effort bringing state, local, and federal partners together to identify offenders preying on children online and bring them to justice.

Arrests were made, and every arrest represents another step toward protecting children and creating safer communities. This is what investigators can do when they have the resources, technology, and support to act.
