Right now, detectives are overwhelmed, many carrying dozens of active child exploitation investigations at once. And that number grows every single day.

Backlog doesn’t mean a lack of care. It means a lack of time, resources, and manpower.

Because of your support, we were able to fund the overtime and personnel needed to proactively work these tips and conduct knock-and-talk operations, turning waiting into action when it matters most. This operation was carried out in partnership with our SWFL INTERCEPT Task Force and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

The demand is growing faster than the resources available. Your support puts investigators on the ground, doors being knocked, and leads being followed.
