Project Sanctuary: 27 Children Safe

This is the sort of story I collect, the kind that inspired Web of Angels:

Det. Paul Krawczyk and D/Const. Janelle Blackadar of the Sex Crimes Unit Child Exploitation Section could not conceive the impact they would have on young lives across the world and the magnitude of the operation – Project Sanctuary — in which the officers infiltrated a global child pornography network that was trading child sexual abuse images and videos.

A total of 60 suspects were rounded up around the world and nearly 225 charges were laid. But, most importantly, 27 children were rescued as a direct result of this investigation.

These officers recently received the Police Officer of the Year Award at the 45th annual ceremony on June 6. As a mother, I would like to add my congratulations as well as my appreciation for their amazing work.
