Must read

A team of law enforcement officers from various agencies were recognized recently for their initiative to work with a task force designed to take suspected child predators and sex traffickers off the streets.

Headed by Homeland Security Investigations, the team assembled its headquarters at the Taylor Police Department and worked for four days during the time of the NFL Draft.

It started April 24 and continued through the draft.

Taylor police was chosen by HSI because of its technological capabilities, ample space to accommodate a command center and officers willing to take on the covert operation.

State Rep. Jamie Thompson (R-Brownstown) gathered participating officers from Taylor and other agencies for a formal recognition commending them on their efforts that resulted in the apprehension of three suspected child predators. One other person is still under investigation.
