K-9s Provide a Solution To End Abuse of Sexually Victimized Children

Operation 180 Turn Around: A Call TO Action

Toni Clark speaks with Dr. George on this week’s episode of Living in the Solution to discuss her organization, Defenders For Children a Greenville, South Carolina based non-profit’s new task force dubbed “OPERATION 180 Turn-Around” comprised of caring citizens across America to make a tangible impact on sexually victimized and abuse crimes against children.

In November of 2018, Defenders for Children placed ‘Queue’ the first of thee electronic detection K-9 dog officers with the Greenville County’s Sheriff’s Office.

To date K-9 ‘Queue’ has participated in over 65 searches, and has been able to successfully evidence his human counterparts missed. As such, OPERATION 180 Turn Around seeks to help make more specially trained dogs are donated to agencies that need additional assistance when investigating human sex traffickers, child pornographers & predators. Through community outreach, Defenders for Children is asking for help to meet its fundraising goals in support of placing more K-9 officers with law enforcement. Whereas with costs for placing just one specially trained dog into a department at $23,000, protecting a child from being sexually victimized is priceless.

If you would like to help Defenders for Children reach their goal, you and or church or other civic group may help by donating directly to OPERATION 180 Turn Around by visiting:
