Overview

Mission

The Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes and to promote safety and awareness of child endangerment through communications, conventions, conferences and open discussions and work with law enforcement.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Foundation realizes that awareness of child endangerment must be brought to the forefront of discussions. The Foundation believes that one of the best and most effecient ways to bring awareness of this issue is through open discussions and cooperation with law enforcement around the country.

Training, communications, and conferences across the county focused on responsible rescue operations and law enforcement's ability to investigage online and on the street to build solid cases to keep predators away from children and those most vulnerable in our society.
