Legalities
Our main aim is to ensure predators are caught for their crimes and justice is served to protect our children. This means ensuring that every recruited member of our team follows strict rules and procedures, in-line with UK law and undergoes rigid training.
It is important to build a professional working relationship with our police to enforce our laws. You will find information below on exactly how we ensure that all are safe during any investigations and stings. The predator, the victims and our team members. We are here for justice, not violence. The core of our cause is to reduce abuse. It is clear from recent data on the increase of online sexual crimes against children that our police force need an army on the ground. The frightening figures are not only alarming, but demonstrate that our forces do not have the resources to investigate and capture.
To every volunteer in our community who dedicate their own time to run our organisation, it is my sole aspiration to thank you personally for your commitment and dedication by ensuring we follow the law so your hard work does not go undone.
