1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:00.920
Hey, everyone.

2
00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.030
Welcome back. And today I have an esteemed guest on

3
00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:07.849
the show. We are going to talk about the ICAC,

4
00:00:07.889 --> 00:00:12.070
that is Internet Crimes Against Children. This gentleman I have

5
00:00:12.109 --> 00:00:16.089
sitting across from me has worked for a long time

6
00:00:16.129 --> 00:00:19.969
with the Livingston-Barris Sheriff's Office, Captain Calvin Bowden. First of all,

7
00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:20.809
welcome to the show.

8
00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:22.140
Thank you, Jim. Appreciate it.

9
00:00:22.809 --> 00:00:27.350
So we're going to talk about internet crimes against children today,

10
00:00:27.429 --> 00:00:31.010
something you're very involved with. But before we get into it,

11
00:00:31.190 --> 00:00:34.390
what it is, what it does, and what y'all.

12
00:00:34.149 --> 00:00:37.520
Do specifically with that collaboration, I.

13
00:00:37.950 --> 00:00:39.600
Want to talk a little bit about you. How long

14
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:41.399
have you been with the Sheriff's Department?

15
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.979
I've been at the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office for 28 years.

16
00:00:44.979 --> 00:00:47.539
28 years. And how did you start off there?

17
00:00:47.979 --> 00:00:49.740
So I started off in corrections.

18
00:00:49.939 --> 00:00:50.560
Yeah.

19
00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:54.359
Worked there just probably about six months and then went

20
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.810
to uniform patrol. Stayed in uniform patrol for a while.

21
00:00:59.909 --> 00:01:01.729
Then I became a D.A.R.E. officer.

22
00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:02.229
Yeah.

23
00:01:02.590 --> 00:01:03.969
Oh, really? I didn't know that.

24
00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:08.209
Interesting. I taught D.A.R.E. for a couple years. How did

25
00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:10.530
you like that? I liked it. Yeah. I liked it.

26
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:14.480
You know, making a difference in them young children's lives.

27
00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:15.359
Oh, yeah.

28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:21.420
It was inspiring. Yeah. And then in 2005, I went

29
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:25.939
to criminal investigations, and I've been in criminal investigations ever since.

30
00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:26.939
Yeah, yeah.

31
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.439
And, of course, through 28 years, I find, and that's

32
00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:35.260
very unique to your experiences, you've seen a lot of

33
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.159
changes in technology.

34
00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:38.500
A lot, yes.

35
00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:39.959
I can only imagine.

36
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.760
I mean, 28 years ago, I guess the Internet existed,

37
00:01:43.859 --> 00:01:45.810
but it barely existed at that point.

38
00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:46.689
Right. Yeah.

39
00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:53.829
And now it is pretty much a playground for business

40
00:01:54.329 --> 00:01:55.769
and for bad actors.

41
00:01:55.909 --> 00:01:56.090
Yes.

42
00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:57.159
A lot of times.

43
00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:01.180
And I guess that would lead us into ICAC. And

44
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.959
I want to maybe, if you could, explain to people

45
00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:08.060
what ICAC is and how it started.

46
00:02:08.659 --> 00:02:14.870
So Internet Crimes Against Children is a task force. It is...

47
00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:19.509
started with the, uh, in Louisiana started, uh, with the, uh,

48
00:02:19.629 --> 00:02:24.960
attorney general's office. Yeah. Um, back before we got involved

49
00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:26.879
in it two and a half years ago, there were

50
00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:32.000
probably less than 10, uh, agencies that were, were involved

51
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:39.000
in now, uh, through the hard work of, uh, attorney general, uh,

52
00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:45.759
Liz Merrill's team, all 64 parishes have ICAC, uh, Task

53
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.800
Force that we all work together, you know, moving in

54
00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:53.039
the same direction to protect not only the kids in

55
00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:56.900
our parish, but the kids in our whole state. Wow.

56
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.210
And what I find interesting about ICAC is that there's

57
00:03:02.530 --> 00:03:07.490
no limitations even relative to states. ICAC exists in other states,

58
00:03:07.610 --> 00:03:11.169
which I would imagine helps you folks if you're dealing

59
00:03:11.229 --> 00:03:15.680
with someone who maybe came from another state here. uh,

60
00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:19.599
to commit a crime, you know, and you mentioned collaboration

61
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.659
and how there was only, you know, a limited number

62
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.099
of agencies when it started.

63
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.000
Now it's a hundred percent filled.

64
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:26.539
Right.

65
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.199
Amazing progress on that. But it also speaks to me

66
00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:33.479
as a, I guess, a citizen that obviously it's working

67
00:03:33.699 --> 00:03:37.259
and these, in the sheriffs and, uh, are seeing it

68
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.560
working and they want to get involved in that. Right.

69
00:03:39.689 --> 00:03:45.919
Yes. Yes. So, uh, whenever you have, uh, All these

70
00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:49.539
agencies that are involved and have these task force, whenever

71
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:54.020
your investigation reaches these different parishes or these different states,

72
00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:57.110
you have a point of contact that you can reach

73
00:03:57.270 --> 00:04:00.409
out to and they can help you and assist you

74
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:03.629
in an investigation. And they do the same investigations you do.

75
00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:07.560
So they know firsthand what they need to do, what

76
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.580
they need to ask. what type of evidence they need

77
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.289
to seize. And it just, it makes everything run smoothly.

78
00:04:14.629 --> 00:04:14.930
Wow.

79
00:04:15.830 --> 00:04:18.470
And I want to, I want to talk a little

80
00:04:18.509 --> 00:04:25.149
bit to or about the subject of parental supervision over

81
00:04:25.250 --> 00:04:28.800
kids and, and what parents can do because a lot

82
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.800
of these parents grew up in a generation where the

83
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:32.500
internet was.

84
00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.459
Was in its infancy.

85
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.519
I mean, you didn't have, matter of fact, I had

86
00:04:38.579 --> 00:04:42.550
flip phones, and before flip phones, I had– remember the Nextels? Oh, yeah.

87
00:04:43.009 --> 00:04:45.569
I had a Nextel pager. I used to roll around

88
00:04:45.589 --> 00:04:47.310
with a pager and stop at pay phones.

89
00:04:47.329 --> 00:04:50.769
So that generation of– you know, our generation of people,

90
00:04:52.290 --> 00:04:55.990
unless you're in a field like mine or yours, for example,

91
00:04:56.029 --> 00:04:59.050
where you're around computers every day, you may not understand

92
00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:01.269
the risk.

93
00:05:00.970 --> 00:05:05.490
Involved in handing children a cell phone. There's some benefits

94
00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:05.910
to that.

95
00:05:05.990 --> 00:05:09.310
You can– You can obviously call your child anytime there's

96
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.810
a worry about something to make sure they're okay, but

97
00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:14.600
there's some risk. And that's what I really want to

98
00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:18.839
talk about today. Let's talk about the risk that you

99
00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:22.500
see with these bad actors and how they're preying on

100
00:05:22.540 --> 00:05:23.079
these children.

101
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.399
And, you know, as a parent, you want to give

102
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.620
your child access to further their education and learn things

103
00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:41.810
and you know, a digital device can help in that, right? Yeah.

104
00:05:42.269 --> 00:05:48.449
But also these predators, these bad actors, that's what they're

105
00:05:48.550 --> 00:05:52.829
using as well. Yeah. So, you know, if our kids

106
00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:57.040
have any type of device that reaches the outside world

107
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.379
on the Internet, those predators are there as well. Yeah.

108
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:02.920
That's a scary thought.

109
00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:04.759
Yes, it is. Yeah.

110
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.009
And, and, uh, they, obviously these predators don't think like

111
00:06:09.050 --> 00:06:11.970
you and I do. And, uh, you know, they have

112
00:06:12.069 --> 00:06:15.610
one goal in mind and, and they'll say anything to

113
00:06:15.870 --> 00:06:20.649
achieve that goal. Um, what, how are they getting in

114
00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:23.189
touch with these children? I mean, they're not reaching out

115
00:06:23.449 --> 00:06:25.490
typically and calling them on the telephone.

116
00:06:26.009 --> 00:06:29.939
No. So if, if say the, the, the kid has

117
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:33.980
a Facebook, they are instant message. The, uh, the, the

118
00:06:34.019 --> 00:06:39.019
child on Facebook. And these predators, they do their homework, okay?

119
00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:44.019
That's why whenever we go to these schools and present

120
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:50.110
about safety, I caution parents about putting personal information about

121
00:06:50.149 --> 00:06:52.290
the kids and things that are going on in their

122
00:06:52.329 --> 00:06:56.370
lives on the Internet. For example, if you have a

123
00:06:56.410 --> 00:07:00.410
kid that is going through a situation where they lost

124
00:07:00.470 --> 00:07:03.310
a loved one or something and it's posted on the Internet,

125
00:07:04.670 --> 00:07:09.759
then they're going through a stage of grievance in their

126
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.500
life and that predator sees that and they're going to

127
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.600
step in and try to fill any void that that

128
00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:19.879
kid has in their life. These predators, whenever they reach out,

129
00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:27.230
they will find what these kids are involved in and

130
00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:32.629
they will fill that void and make it where they

131
00:07:32.910 --> 00:07:38.209
are friending this person the these these kids right yeah

132
00:07:38.529 --> 00:07:42.839
and and that's that's where it all starts.

133
00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:46.160
Yeah they look it seems like they're they're looking for

134
00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:48.920
an end right any way they can find it right

135
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.439
and that end becomes like uh you know i haven't

136
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.699
thought about that but yeah you you're posting something innocent

137
00:07:56.339 --> 00:07:59.839
or that you would assume was relatively innocent you got

138
00:07:59.860 --> 00:08:02.600
to be real careful uh Almost like think on the

139
00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:05.060
other side of that, how could somebody take advantage of

140
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.379
this before you post it?

141
00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:06.720
Right.

142
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.860
And that's something most parents, you know, it just doesn't

143
00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:10.560
enter their mind.

144
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.730
Yeah, because whenever they– You would never think somebody would

145
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:17.610
take advantage of that. Whenever these parents post this or

146
00:08:17.649 --> 00:08:20.370
they have their kids post stuff, it's very innocent.

147
00:08:20.689 --> 00:08:20.870
Yeah.

148
00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:25.329
But on the flip side, these predators are looking for that,

149
00:08:25.709 --> 00:08:28.129
and they're trying to fill any void that these kids

150
00:08:28.170 --> 00:08:31.819
have in their life to make– They're self-relevant, right?

151
00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:32.080
Yeah.

152
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:33.700
I know that.

153
00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:41.090
Our Attorney General has created an extreme focus on Roblox

154
00:08:41.169 --> 00:08:44.529
in particular. Of course, there are other applications out there

155
00:08:45.490 --> 00:08:49.309
as well. But Roblox in particular, because it is an

156
00:08:49.509 --> 00:08:54.100
application that was designed for children, for children to play.

157
00:08:54.179 --> 00:08:57.139
And everybody out there is familiar, I'm sure, with Roblox.

158
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.409
but you may not be familiar with the messaging features

159
00:09:00.710 --> 00:09:04.450
on Roblox. And I think that has become, let's talk

160
00:09:04.490 --> 00:09:09.269
about that for a minute. And you can explain to

161
00:09:09.309 --> 00:09:13.639
people how they're reaching out on these applications. And even

162
00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:16.080
outside of like a Facebook where you know there's a

163
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.820
messaging system, how they're reaching out on these applications that

164
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.519
you may not realize have communication systems.

165
00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:27.279
Right. And that's a good point for... Nowadays, whenever we

166
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:31.919
do search warrants on investigations and stuff like that, before

167
00:09:32.139 --> 00:09:35.570
you would want the digital devices, the phones, the computers.

168
00:09:36.649 --> 00:09:39.129
Now you have to go for the phones, the computers,

169
00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:44.409
the gaming devices, the Xboxes, the PlayStations, and stuff like

170
00:09:44.429 --> 00:09:51.679
that because those game components do reach out to the Internet.

171
00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:55.799
And those games that are played on those devices, Yeah.

172
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:02.580
They have messaging, uh, capabilities and predators are there as well. Yeah.

173
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.480
Just like on, on Roblox. Yeah. Yeah.

174
00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:08.480
And I, I know Roblox is the one that makes

175
00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:12.840
all the news in Snapchats, things, uh, things of that nature.

176
00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:18.230
But I would probably say most every application, uh, out

177
00:10:18.269 --> 00:10:21.649
there has some sort of messaging capability to it now,

178
00:10:21.769 --> 00:10:27.830
which is scary. Right. What can a parent do to,

179
00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:32.460
you know, what would you advise to stay on top

180
00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:36.120
of this and just ensure that something is not going

181
00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:38.960
on that is out of the ordinary with their children?

182
00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:42.460
Right. Just like Sheriff Jason Hart always says, be in

183
00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:45.679
your kid's business, right? Yes. Be in your kid's business

184
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.299
as a parent.

185
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.039
Right.

186
00:10:48.009 --> 00:10:54.360
But do integrity checks on your kids' devices. Let the

187
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.220
kids know that at any point that you as a

188
00:10:58.259 --> 00:11:01.639
parent can ask for that device and do an integrity

189
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.100
check and see what they're looking at. Scroll through the

190
00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:09.529
messages and so forth like that. And check the Internet history.

191
00:11:09.950 --> 00:11:13.610
If the Internet history is deleted, that's a red flag.

192
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:17.769
they're probably looking at something that they probably shouldn't be

193
00:11:17.929 --> 00:11:19.250
because why would you delete it?

194
00:11:19.389 --> 00:11:19.669
Right.

195
00:11:19.889 --> 00:11:22.759
Right. Yeah. So that's, that's one thing, but just do

196
00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:27.580
integrity checks on the phones and, uh, you know, a good,

197
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.840
a good thing to do is, you know, have boundaries

198
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.299
for as times and places that they can use the phones. Yeah.

199
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:41.840
You know, because a lot of times these, uh, these predators, uh,

200
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:46.440
They're taking advantage of these children. And what we see

201
00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:50.809
is it's usually in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. Yeah. Yeah.

202
00:11:51.269 --> 00:11:52.110
That's a great point.

203
00:11:52.889 --> 00:11:58.429
You know, and Calvin, it's an uncomfortable conversation to have

204
00:11:58.470 --> 00:12:01.750
with your kids that predators exist and predators are out there.

205
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.919
And I had this conversation, you know, with my girls.

206
00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:05.399
Right.

207
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.200
When they were of the age.

208
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.440
And, you know, it's weird.

209
00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:10.830
As a matter of fact, now you can almost say

210
00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:13.330
of the age because it's all ages you've got to

211
00:12:13.370 --> 00:12:16.470
watch out for. But I did have a conversation with

212
00:12:16.509 --> 00:12:19.169
them at one point that, hey, there's people out there

213
00:12:19.230 --> 00:12:21.610
that will lie to you and say they're 12 when

214
00:12:21.629 --> 00:12:22.389
they're 24.

215
00:12:22.389 --> 00:12:23.980
Oh, absolutely.

216
00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:27.080
And that was kind of a tough conversation to have

217
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.720
for a dad. I remember my parents sitting me down

218
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.799
and going to tell me about the birds and the bees.

219
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.600
And I'm like, I already know about the birds and

220
00:12:33.620 --> 00:12:38.620
the bees. I don't want to have this conversation. I

221
00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:39.820
distinctly remember that.

222
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.610
But for me, it was very important to sit down

223
00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:49.330
and have that conversation, no matter how uncomfortable it was,

224
00:12:49.409 --> 00:12:52.769
that there are people out there that have nothing but

225
00:12:52.809 --> 00:12:57.120
the worst intentions of Uh, and it was primarily because, uh,

226
00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:00.009
you know, at that time I was, I was covering

227
00:13:00.090 --> 00:13:03.919
crime on a, on a weekly news show. And, and, uh,

228
00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:06.629
it was something that I, I lived in that world,

229
00:13:06.769 --> 00:13:09.570
you know, where I saw these horrible things happening and,

230
00:13:09.789 --> 00:13:12.460
and I knew how important it was, but a lot

231
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.580
of people, they, you know, understandably want to shy away

232
00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:17.679
from that. And I, you know, nobody ever wants to

233
00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.759
have that conversation. How important is that conversation?

234
00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:26.090
That conversation is very important. Um, Like I tell all

235
00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:34.669
the parents whenever we do these informational talks, I stress

236
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.500
to them that they should have the conversation with their

237
00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:42.860
kids and their kids should feel comfortable coming to them.

238
00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:46.809
That's a great point. Because there are so many times

239
00:13:46.970 --> 00:13:54.960
that we work cases where the child makes a bad decision,

240
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:56.860
which children are going to make bad decisions as part

241
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.419
of growing up.

242
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:57.879
I did.

243
00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:58.240
Right?

244
00:13:58.299 --> 00:14:01.559
They're part of growing up. They make a bad decision.

245
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.210
They send an inappropriate picture, and the person tries to

246
00:14:07.610 --> 00:14:14.309
start extorting them for more pictures or send money. You know,

247
00:14:14.889 --> 00:14:17.809
it's a lot of different things that could happen. And

248
00:14:18.049 --> 00:14:20.490
if you don't have that conversation and your child don't

249
00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:25.970
feel comfortable to reach out, that kid's going to feel

250
00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:29.190
isolated and they feel like they're alone, right?

251
00:14:29.210 --> 00:14:29.350
Yeah.

252
00:14:29.669 --> 00:14:33.399
And that leads to teen suicide and things like that,

253
00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:36.740
you know. So we definitely don't want that to happen.

254
00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:41.879
And like I tell the kids, you know, hey, we're

255
00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:45.759
all human. Everybody makes mistakes. But feel comfortable going to

256
00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:50.820
your parent because– That's your safe haven. That's right. They

257
00:14:50.860 --> 00:14:52.399
love you and they want to take care of you.

258
00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:52.940
Yeah.

259
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.519
You know, are you going to get in trouble? Probably.

260
00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:58.440
But it's not the end of the world. You can

261
00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:01.840
move past it. Yeah. You know, they're there to help you.

262
00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:02.470
That's right.

263
00:15:02.490 --> 00:15:03.259
They're there to help you.

264
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:04.289
That's right.

265
00:15:04.610 --> 00:15:07.029
And, you know, you bring up a good point with

266
00:15:07.070 --> 00:15:10.110
pictures because even today, now you have to worry about

267
00:15:10.549 --> 00:15:12.230
you didn't even really send a picture.

268
00:15:12.250 --> 00:15:14.190
They took a regular picture of.

269
00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:18.580
You and used AI and made it look like– you

270
00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:20.379
sent a picture that you didn't and.

271
00:15:20.259 --> 00:15:21.559
Then threaten you with it.

272
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:21.940
Right.

273
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:28.039
Which thankfully, Louisiana has really stepped up and our legislators

274
00:15:28.570 --> 00:15:31.730
and their laws against that now in the state of Louisiana.

275
00:15:31.809 --> 00:15:34.710
And you try something stupid like that, you're going to

276
00:15:34.730 --> 00:15:35.730
do some jail time.

277
00:15:35.789 --> 00:15:36.309
Definitely.

278
00:15:36.509 --> 00:15:36.850
Yeah.

279
00:15:37.129 --> 00:15:41.409
And because that has been a big problem, I know nationally,

280
00:15:41.450 --> 00:15:43.539
and I've talked about this on one of my shows

281
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.549
with the 764 group and how These sick individuals are

282
00:15:47.570 --> 00:15:51.529
going around and they're making these AI pictures and then

283
00:15:51.789 --> 00:15:54.529
they're making these kids feel like they have to do

284
00:15:54.610 --> 00:15:59.889
things so that they don't expose those pictures. And, you know,

285
00:16:00.009 --> 00:16:04.870
I hope every person under the age of 18 or

286
00:16:04.970 --> 00:16:07.230
even over the age of 18 that is worried about

287
00:16:07.289 --> 00:16:10.389
something like that knows that everybody out there knows that

288
00:16:10.429 --> 00:16:12.600
capability is there and no one is going to believe

289
00:16:12.629 --> 00:16:15.240
that picture is real. And I would, you know, there

290
00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:18.169
are ways to tell when something's AI and when it's not.

291
00:16:18.889 --> 00:16:23.809
And so don't be concerned about that. And that kind

292
00:16:23.870 --> 00:16:26.789
of leads me to my next point is as a parent,

293
00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:30.750
if let's say you are doing an integrity check and

294
00:16:30.769 --> 00:16:34.039
you come across something and you're like, oh, this is

295
00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.600
not good.

296
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.100
I just came across some text or some messages or

297
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.720
whatever pictures. What do you do?

298
00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:44.460
So if you're doing an integrity check and you come

299
00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:49.370
across something that is alarming or something that throws a

300
00:16:49.409 --> 00:16:56.409
red flag, number one, contact us. Contact us. Don't delete

301
00:16:56.470 --> 00:16:58.029
the information off the phone.

302
00:16:58.309 --> 00:16:59.129
Very important.

303
00:16:59.289 --> 00:17:01.049
Don't contact the suspect.

304
00:17:01.539 --> 00:17:04.579
Even harder to do, but very important.

305
00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:07.579
As a parent, you want to make that call right then.

306
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.160
Oh, yeah, 100%.

307
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:14.460
You know, but. we don't want to lose the information

308
00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:16.839
on the device that you have. Don't, don't delete it

309
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.180
and don't alert the suspect because we don't want them

310
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.950
to delete off their device before we can further the investigation. So,

311
00:17:25.289 --> 00:17:28.390
so that's, that's important. I know as a parent, you won't,

312
00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:33.970
you want to get instant relief from the situation, you know,

313
00:17:34.430 --> 00:17:39.089
but let, us as law enforcement, investigate it and do

314
00:17:39.130 --> 00:17:41.869
it the right way so we can get the information,

315
00:17:42.289 --> 00:17:46.210
the evidence, so we can submit that to the DA

316
00:17:46.250 --> 00:17:47.190
for a prosecution.

317
00:17:47.750 --> 00:17:51.210
And I'm glad you brought that up because if you

318
00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:54.750
don't live in that world, you may not realize how.

319
00:17:54.670 --> 00:17:56.369
Important the process is.

320
00:17:56.589 --> 00:18:04.160
But, you know, detectives like Captain Calvin, they're primary job

321
00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:08.750
is to gather evidence. And then by the time they

322
00:18:09.150 --> 00:18:12.190
turn that over to a district attorney, hopefully that district

323
00:18:12.230 --> 00:18:13.470
attorney's job is easy.

324
00:18:14.069 --> 00:18:15.230
All the evidence is here.

325
00:18:15.430 --> 00:18:17.950
All you got to do is, you know, the attorney

326
00:18:18.430 --> 00:18:21.089
is really the person who is presenting it in court.

327
00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:21.789
That's it.

328
00:18:23.130 --> 00:18:27.450
Great detectives like Captain Calvin, they know when they're at

329
00:18:27.509 --> 00:18:30.690
the point that we have enough evidence here that this

330
00:18:30.710 --> 00:18:33.950
can get a prosecution. And then that attorney basically looks

331
00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:36.430
at that and says, you're right, you do. And then

332
00:18:36.539 --> 00:18:40.779
moves forward with it. Anything done to impede that or

333
00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.619
that possibly could impede that could create a major problem.

334
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.980
And I want to talk about.

335
00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:50.640
This just briefly, but there's a lot of, you know,

336
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:54.579
with TikTok out there and Facebook stories and all this stuff,

337
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.789
there's a A lot of people out there and they're

338
00:18:56.809 --> 00:19:03.299
doing this vigilante work where they're basically trying to catch

339
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.539
predators as a regular everyday citizen. And while all of us,

340
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.240
I'm sure Captain Calvin is no different, there's a side

341
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.400
that says, oh, this is great.

342
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.220
The problem is.

343
00:19:14.009 --> 00:19:18.910
ICAC specifically are trained individuals to know what you can

344
00:19:18.970 --> 00:19:22.750
do and what you cannot do in order to either

345
00:19:22.849 --> 00:19:25.109
hinder or get a prosecution, correct?

346
00:19:25.269 --> 00:19:28.940
Yes, that's correct. There's ICAC standards that are in place

347
00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:36.539
that ICAC, Internet Crimes Against Children, regulates and requires us

348
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.369
to stay within, right? And in Also, our district attorney's

349
00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:47.200
office has these boundaries that they want for prosecution, right?

350
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:54.119
So whenever we... as investigators put a profile out there

351
00:19:54.220 --> 00:20:01.829
on any type of platform, we put the profile out

352
00:20:01.869 --> 00:20:05.789
there and we wait for people to reach out to us.

353
00:20:05.849 --> 00:20:09.930
We don't reach out to people, right? But these vigilantes...

354
00:20:09.670 --> 00:20:12.890
They put a profile. They're reaching out to everybody, right?

355
00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:18.029
See if they can catch something. Well, that's not the standard.

356
00:20:18.069 --> 00:20:20.750
That's not the protocol of what we need for a good,

357
00:20:20.809 --> 00:20:29.119
solid prosecution. So are they doing good work exposing people? Yes. However,

358
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:34.500
you're not going to get a prosecution and you're not

359
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:38.480
going to do the whole deal of making the person

360
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.960
that is trying to exploit a kid jail time.

361
00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:42.480
Right.

362
00:20:42.859 --> 00:20:43.559
Right.

363
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.660
And also on top of that, I would even imagine

364
00:20:47.779 --> 00:20:50.440
that you all the time don't know who you're dealing with.

365
00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:53.539
And you need to be real careful. You know, a

366
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:53.859
lot of.

367
00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:57.400
Times they're meeting these people in public places that I've seen.

368
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.339
And I'm thinking, man, if this guy went off and

369
00:21:00.380 --> 00:21:03.500
just pulled a gun and started, you know, shooting, there's

370
00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:08.950
a thousand innocent people around this individual that's got this

371
00:21:09.049 --> 00:21:16.210
camera pointed at this guy, you're creating a very volatile situation.

372
00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:19.890
Oh, without a doubt. I mean, Jim, there's been numerous

373
00:21:19.950 --> 00:21:24.529
occasions where we've done stings and people have showed up

374
00:21:24.589 --> 00:21:29.349
with guns and they were just meeting a 15-year-old female, right? Yeah.

375
00:21:29.789 --> 00:21:35.009
What they thought. And they showed up with loaded guns

376
00:21:35.349 --> 00:21:37.390
in their waistbands. Yeah. I mean.

377
00:21:37.410 --> 00:21:38.650
And you're professionals.

378
00:21:38.950 --> 00:21:43.269
Exactly. And that's in a controlled environment, right? When these

379
00:21:43.329 --> 00:21:47.369
vigilantes are doing this, it's not in a controlled environment.

380
00:21:47.849 --> 00:21:50.920
They're putting themselves and the public at risk.

381
00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.500
That's right.

382
00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.240
That's right.

383
00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:54.980
And that's what I see a lot with these. So

384
00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:58.619
while the premise of it seems like a very honorable

385
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.359
thing to do, it's not always the smartest thing to do,

386
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:05.769
especially when you get to that prosecution stage of that crime.

387
00:22:06.950 --> 00:22:09.019
And you mentioned Sting's, and that kind of leads me

388
00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:12.490
to my next point. Some of you may already recognize

389
00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:17.440
Captain Calvin. He has become a movie star for all

390
00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.400
intents and purposes.

391
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:19.539
He is one of.

392
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:24.259
The ones that is featured heavily on Chris Hansen's Takedown series.

393
00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:30.160
And that was something that, at least me on the

394
00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:34.910
outside looking in, seemed like a very good partnership to

395
00:22:34.950 --> 00:22:36.930
have with Chris Hansen in that series.

396
00:22:36.970 --> 00:22:39.309
Let's talk about that for a minute. What's that been like?

397
00:22:40.349 --> 00:22:46.289
It's been very rewarding. You know, my team, they're the

398
00:22:46.329 --> 00:22:50.690
best there is in the ICAC world. And for them

399
00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:54.519
to be able to showcase their talent to not only

400
00:22:54.660 --> 00:22:59.079
everybody in Livingston Parish, but people around the world is

401
00:22:59.220 --> 00:23:02.849
very rewarding because this– this job that they do every

402
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.130
day is a grind, right? And to be able to

403
00:23:06.190 --> 00:23:12.450
showcase their work and their dedication and their talent is

404
00:23:12.490 --> 00:23:13.289
very rewarding.

405
00:23:13.490 --> 00:23:14.849
Yeah, I can imagine.

406
00:23:14.950 --> 00:23:19.980
And it has led to a lot of bust. And

407
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.869
I found it interesting because I follow the series, watch it,

408
00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:28.019
very entertained by it. I find it interesting that the

409
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:32.039
majority of the people that are coming into Livingston Parish

410
00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:34.579
in particular, aren't from here.

411
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:35.220
Right.

412
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.700
Some are from way far away.

413
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:43.059
Right. Yeah. So since we started our ICAG division, we've arrested,

414
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.640
we've made over 240 arrests.

415
00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.559
Wow. Right.

416
00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:53.400
And over 70% of those arrests are people that are

417
00:23:53.670 --> 00:23:55.470
outside of Livingston Parish. Yeah.

418
00:23:55.490 --> 00:23:55.569
Yeah.

419
00:23:56.109 --> 00:24:01.670
So, you know, these predators are seeking children outside of

420
00:24:01.730 --> 00:24:07.710
their communities. Yeah. So they're not known. Right. So that's

421
00:24:07.769 --> 00:24:15.450
another reason why it's important to have this ICAC division

422
00:24:15.609 --> 00:24:20.430
task force all throughout the state. Yeah. Because the Internet

423
00:24:20.970 --> 00:24:22.210
doesn't have any boundaries.

424
00:24:22.289 --> 00:24:22.950
No, it doesn't.

425
00:24:23.049 --> 00:24:26.450
It doesn't have any jurisdictions. So we need to make

426
00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:29.809
these investigations where they don't have any jurisdictions and we

427
00:24:29.849 --> 00:24:30.809
will all work together.

428
00:24:31.349 --> 00:24:34.329
I think it's a wonderful thing. And, you know, it's interesting.

429
00:24:34.390 --> 00:24:36.390
And you can speak to this because you've been at

430
00:24:36.529 --> 00:24:42.039
LPSO for so long. You know, I co-hosted a show

431
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.079
for many, many years with someone that had been at

432
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.660
LPSO way back.

433
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:46.039
In the day.

434
00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:50.660
And one thing that I found interesting was when he

435
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.940
used to tell me this, Woody, that, you know, it

436
00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:57.670
used to be the detective worked everything. So it was,

437
00:24:58.009 --> 00:25:01.710
whether it was a robbery, whether it was, uh, you know,

438
00:25:01.869 --> 00:25:06.910
God forbid a homicide or whether it was someone shoplifting, um,

439
00:25:07.410 --> 00:25:10.089
you're going, it's the same detective working all these things.

440
00:25:10.150 --> 00:25:14.490
And you've gone from that to now having, uh, all

441
00:25:14.529 --> 00:25:17.569
these different divisions and that's a credit to sheriff art

442
00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:21.130
and the things that he has done to, to bring

443
00:25:21.190 --> 00:25:23.470
that department forward.

444
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:25.480
To where you.

445
00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:32.539
Have actually financial crimes division now, which is a huge problem.

446
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:41.079
The advent of Bitcoin has caused these people from other

447
00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:46.539
countries to actually steal $ 300, 000, $ 400, 000 from these poor people

448
00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:49.619
who are elderly that have no idea really what they're

449
00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:53.769
doing transferring this money. And so we have divisions at

450
00:25:53.890 --> 00:25:58.710
LPSO now that focus specifically on that. From when you

451
00:25:58.750 --> 00:26:02.009
started to where it was one guy, two guys working everything.

452
00:26:02.349 --> 00:26:07.089
Yeah. Whenever I started investigations, like I say, in 2005,

453
00:26:07.089 --> 00:26:10.920
we worked everything from garbage can thefts to homicide.

454
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:12.240
That's wild.

455
00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:16.140
To sexual assault. So if you got a call and

456
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.619
you answered the phone, it was yours, right? And it

457
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:19.240
didn't matter.

458
00:26:19.259 --> 00:26:19.359
Right.

459
00:26:19.829 --> 00:26:24.269
But under the great leadership of Sheriff Jason Ord and

460
00:26:25.730 --> 00:26:29.859
his vision for the office, he has made it very,

461
00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:35.900
very detail-oriented for these different types of divisions to investigate

462
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:40.799
these crimes. He's given us the tools, the education, the learning,

463
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:49.190
and the backing to allow us to do these investigations effectively.

464
00:26:49.769 --> 00:26:51.599
and all the tools that we need to do it.

465
00:26:52.109 --> 00:26:53.950
And I think that it shows.

466
00:26:54.390 --> 00:26:59.420
Because I'll tell you, you know, one thing with Livingston Parish,

467
00:26:59.660 --> 00:27:04.579
in particular where I live, is, you know, unfortunately we're

468
00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:08.940
surrounded by some areas that struggle with crime for one

469
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:14.599
reason or another. And I almost feel insulated in a

470
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.759
way from that. And I think a lot of that

471
00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:24.180
is because of Sheriff Ord's foresight of really getting ahead

472
00:27:24.220 --> 00:27:29.319
of the problem and forming divisions as technology would change,

473
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:34.980
like ICAC, like financial crimes and things like that. And

474
00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:38.799
also a heck of a good department. Just good people

475
00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:41.660
over there that know what they're doing, know how to

476
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:47.190
investigate cases. And, you know, I absolutely will go to

477
00:27:47.230 --> 00:27:49.890
bat anytime. You would think I work for LPSA sometimes

478
00:27:49.910 --> 00:27:54.049
because I get so offended. But, you know, it just

479
00:27:54.130 --> 00:27:57.250
is what it is because I know how bad it

480
00:27:57.369 --> 00:28:00.950
is out there. I study it so hard. And I'm like,

481
00:28:01.009 --> 00:28:04.039
y'all have, you know, y'all have to realize how good

482
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.440
we have it here and how amazing a job that

483
00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.940
that department has done.

484
00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:11.160
And I really mean that.

485
00:28:12.029 --> 00:28:15.130
Um, it is, it is, uh, it, it's a zoo

486
00:28:15.210 --> 00:28:18.849
out there to say the least. And, uh, and so

487
00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:23.029
it takes everybody pulling in the same direction to really

488
00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:26.130
insulate that as much as possible. And I can tell

489
00:28:26.150 --> 00:28:28.609
you one thing I wake up every day and one

490
00:28:28.630 --> 00:28:30.309
thing I don't feel is not safe.

491
00:28:30.490 --> 00:28:30.769
Right.

492
00:28:31.210 --> 00:28:35.789
And that credit all goes to, you know, our local

493
00:28:35.849 --> 00:28:38.170
municipalities and our sheriff's office here.

494
00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.680
In Livingston Parish.

495
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:43.039
We are the fastest growing parish in the state. And

496
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.589
with that, you know, comes a lot of times crime.

497
00:28:47.630 --> 00:28:49.130
I mean, it just is what it is.

498
00:28:50.269 --> 00:28:52.950
And I can tell you that y'all are just doing

499
00:28:52.970 --> 00:28:56.250
a phenomenal job in everything possible to stay ahead of it.

500
00:28:56.329 --> 00:28:56.950
Right.

501
00:28:57.109 --> 00:28:58.210
And I love that, man.

502
00:29:00.150 --> 00:29:03.089
I really can't tell you how much I appreciate y'all

503
00:29:03.150 --> 00:29:04.950
focusing on the children like you do.

504
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:09.950
That is not a fun job. aspect of enforcement from

505
00:29:09.990 --> 00:29:13.289
the aspect of it's, it takes a special person to

506
00:29:13.309 --> 00:29:16.119
be able to communicate with someone that they probably think

507
00:29:16.170 --> 00:29:19.279
deep down inside is a real, you know, piece of trash.

508
00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:19.740
Right. Right.

509
00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:22.440
And you've got to sit there and communicate with this

510
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.519
person and act like you're someone you're not. And it would,

511
00:29:25.619 --> 00:29:28.960
I'm sure it turns your stomach and everybody's in your,

512
00:29:29.140 --> 00:29:32.109
on your teams to do that, but you do it

513
00:29:32.329 --> 00:29:36.079
because of, You're right. You're serving and protecting. You're protecting

514
00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:36.640
these children.

515
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.359
That's it. Because, you know, you you, you look at

516
00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:45.099
it and if you're, if you're on these platforms and these,

517
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:49.609
these predators are reaching out to you and they're trying

518
00:29:49.650 --> 00:29:54.809
to exploit you, they're not talking to a real child

519
00:29:54.869 --> 00:29:56.420
exploiting that child. Right.

520
00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:56.880
Right.

521
00:29:57.029 --> 00:30:00.890
So you're, you're stepping in the gap there and you're

522
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:05.950
exposing that person and you're protecting that, that real child

523
00:30:06.029 --> 00:30:10.789
out there, because if we're not on there, they're going

524
00:30:10.809 --> 00:30:14.230
to be talking to somebody. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So if

525
00:30:14.309 --> 00:30:18.910
we're out there being proactive, we're, we're protecting the kids,

526
00:30:19.150 --> 00:30:22.920
you know, and what, what is very interesting and, I

527
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.829
have a lot of people that say, I mean, the

528
00:30:25.890 --> 00:30:29.910
Internet is broad, it's big, and how do you know

529
00:30:29.950 --> 00:30:33.910
you're making a difference? Well, this is how we're making

530
00:30:33.950 --> 00:30:40.539
a difference. Whenever you're online and you're chatting, right, and

531
00:30:41.299 --> 00:30:46.279
they're starting to want to get inappropriate and so forth

532
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:49.119
like that, and they ask you where you live, and

533
00:30:49.130 --> 00:30:53.420
you say Walker, Dental Springs, whatever, and they said Livingston Parish,

534
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.619
they say, not today. I'm not talking to anybody from

535
00:30:57.660 --> 00:31:02.970
Livingston Parish. So guess what? Word's out there. That right

536
00:31:02.990 --> 00:31:07.390
there tells me we're making a difference. Whenever a predator

537
00:31:08.029 --> 00:31:14.319
don't want to continue a conversation because you live in

538
00:31:14.339 --> 00:31:18.259
a certain area, you know you're making a difference. And

539
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:21.980
that 100% is because of the leadership of Sheriff Jason

540
00:31:22.069 --> 00:31:24.809
Arden and his vision that he had for ICAC. And

541
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.950
we are making a difference for our kids.

542
00:31:27.150 --> 00:31:28.970
Yeah, 100%.

543
00:31:28.970 --> 00:31:31.690
And I'll tell you, you say it on episodes all

544
00:31:31.730 --> 00:31:35.170
the time on Takedown, you know, don't come in this parish.

545
00:31:36.150 --> 00:31:38.730
You're in Sheriff Jason Orange Paris right now, and we

546
00:31:38.769 --> 00:31:40.009
don't put up with predators.

547
00:31:40.130 --> 00:31:41.089
That's exactly right.

548
00:31:41.109 --> 00:31:43.250
You're going to go to the hotel. Hotel, motel.

549
00:31:43.269 --> 00:31:45.809
That's right. Hotel, motel.

550
00:31:46.069 --> 00:31:48.779
Captain Calvin Bowden, I can't thank you enough for doing

551
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:51.799
this and coming on the show. But even more than that,

552
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.079
I can't thank you enough for doing what you do

553
00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:58.519
to serve and protect every day, man. Y'all are heroes

554
00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:58.880
to me.

555
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.680
I appreciate that.

556
00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.700
I really mean that.

557
00:32:03.029 --> 00:32:05.670
And, uh, and so for anyone out there, if you

558
00:32:05.710 --> 00:32:08.470
have any, any more questions, just give them, give them

559
00:32:08.509 --> 00:32:10.569
to me, you know, message me or whatever. And I'll,

560
00:32:10.690 --> 00:32:12.829
I'll get with Calvin Bowden and see if I can

561
00:32:12.849 --> 00:32:15.630
get you some answers. Uh, if you'd like to learn

562
00:32:15.930 --> 00:32:18.930
more about ICAC, I'm going to put, uh, I'm going

563
00:32:18.950 --> 00:32:22.309
to put in the description of this podcast, some links

564
00:32:22.329 --> 00:32:24.890
that you can go to, to learn a little bit

565
00:32:24.930 --> 00:32:28.480
more about the program and, uh, and, what we're doing

566
00:32:28.529 --> 00:32:30.630
here in Livingston Parish and all that.

567
00:32:30.809 --> 00:32:34.769
And also, you know, if you have any school groups,

568
00:32:35.109 --> 00:32:38.609
any church groups, or, you know, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,

569
00:32:38.710 --> 00:32:45.680
anything where you're in need of a presentation, you know,

570
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:50.160
to bring awareness to the parents, to the children, reach

571
00:32:50.259 --> 00:32:54.240
out to us and let us know because we offer that. And,

572
00:32:54.259 --> 00:32:58.920
you know, we want to arm everybody. with this knowledge

573
00:32:59.299 --> 00:33:03.170
and to, to help protect the community. So the more

574
00:33:03.230 --> 00:33:06.829
people that, that has this information and would know how

575
00:33:06.970 --> 00:33:10.569
to protect their children, the better. That's right.

576
00:33:11.009 --> 00:33:14.160
And I would imagine the goal is always one day

577
00:33:14.180 --> 00:33:17.079
to log on that internet and no one reach out.

578
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:17.779
Exactly.

579
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.200
And that will be a beautiful thing. You know, the, the, but,

580
00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:24.680
I can't thank you enough for coming on and.

581
00:33:24.900 --> 00:33:25.579

583
00:33:26.950 --> 00:33:29.190

584
00:33:29.230 --> 00:33:31.589
