This morning, Sheriff Carmine Marceno stood alongside Attorney General Uthmeier, Dr. Carlin from the Lee County School District, fellow community leaders, and our law enforcement partners at FDLE to discuss how our partnerships are working together to aggressively investigate child predators.
Together, we're working tirelessly around the clock to identify and arrest those who commit horrific crimes against children. We will continue working closely with the State Attorney’s Office and the Attorney General’s Office to ensure these individuals are held accountable and successfully prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Since Attorney General Uthmeier took office, more than 2,000 arrests have been made state-wide in these efforts; and that number will only continue to grow as law enforcement remains relentless in the fight to protect our children.
Protecting children is our top priority, and that commitment starts at home with parents. Through strong families, engaged parents, our schools, and partnerships across law enforcement and our communities, we can work together to keep our children safe.
