“I really appreciate working with Braveheart because they focus on supporting the children while I’m able to concentrate on the investigation,” said Deputy Chief Minx. “Their team is dedicated to making sure the kids get the help they need, which allows me to focus on building a strong, prosecutable case for the state’s attorney’s office. It’s a great partnership that ultimately helps us deliver justice.”

The teamwork between law enforcement and organizations like Braveheart makes it possible to give these kids the justice and support they deserve.”
“Working these cases is tough, and the impact it has on me personally can be heavy. But when I see the outcome of a case where a child gets the help they need and the offender is held accountable, it makes it all worth it. The goal is to make sure every child’s voice is heard, and I’m proud to work alongside Braveheart to get them the support they deserve while making sure justice is served.”
