According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), the CyberTipline received more than 546,000 reports of online enticement in 2024, a staggering increase from the previous year.

At Child Trafficking Solutions Project, we are grateful for our continued partnership with the HERO - Alabama's Courthouse Facility Dog Program and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Together, we are helping create a more supportive and trauma-informed environment for children and families who have experienced difficult circumstances. Facility dogs like Georgia provide comfort, emotional support, and a calming presence during some of life’s most challenging moments.

When law enforcement, victim advocates, and community partners work together, we can better serve those who need us most.

Thank you to the HERO Alabama Facility Dog Program and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for your commitment to supporting victims, strengthening investigations, and helping children find their voice.
