On behalf of The Invictus Task Force, we extend our most sincere appreciation to all the Sheriffs and Chiefs for allowing their men and women to participate in this operation.  Our children are a little safer today due to their efforts and the fact that these predators have been identified and criminally charged. In addition, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible community partners who provided meals, snacks, and drinks over the course of five days to feed the men and women who conducted this operation.  Their efforts allowed this valiant team of men and women to work continuously throughout their shifts and increase their efforts.
