I want to congratulate my friend and colleague Matt Fleming, Deputy in the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office, for being recognized recently as a Hometown Hero by the U.S. Attorney in New Hampshire.

I have known Matt for 20 years. He is as good a person as he is a member of law enforcement.

The incredible work he does on behalf of child victims as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force often happens behind the scenes. That work takes a toll. You see the worst of humanity. It is horrifying to see first hand how children are abused at the hands of some adults.

But Matt never wavers - he leans into this mission and he is relentless in his pursuit of both predators and of justice.

Congrats, Matt. You make us all so proud.
