|
Eighty law enforcement professionals attended the ninth NLC PROTECTS seminar in Charleston, South Carolina on September 12th and 13th. The attendees included prosecutors and law enforcement officers from across the Palmetto State and from as far away as Virginia and Florida.
The attendees began the seminar with an impressive call to action by Reginald I. Lloyd, U.S. Attorney for the District of South Carolina. Seminar speakers included an impressive group of investigators and prosecutors, including representatives from the U.S. Attorneys Office for District of South Carolina, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the South Carolina Attorney General's Office. They were joined by national experts on topics such as on-line enticement cases, computer forensics, and child pornography prosecution.
The feedback from our attendees was impressive. They included comments such as:
- "Everything was excellent – This was the most knowledge I received in years!"
- "Hearing about this, I can take this back to my organization and make us stronger."
- "Organization, planning, great speakers with strong knowledge and resource reference material."
Over 98% of survey respondents indicated that the NLC PROTECTS seminar met or exceeded their expectations.
The next NLC PROTECTS is scheduled for the New England in October 2007.

The National Law Center for Children and Families is pleased to present the Child Defender of the Month Award for February 2007 to the United States Attorneys Office for the Middle District of Alabama. U.S. Attorney Leura Garrett Canary was joined by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Louis Franklin, Tommie Brown Hardwick, and Patricia Watson for the presentation that took place at the NLC Protects seminar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
The Middle District of Alabama has shown a consistent commitment to the fight against child sexual exploitation. Their prosecutions involve a wide range of charges, including child pornography production, transportation for illegal sexual conduct, and gun violations for convicted sex offenders. The Middle District works closely with State and local counterparts to ensure the longest sentences possible for sex offenders.
In early February 2007, Canary was named to the U.S. Attorney General’s Advisory Committee for a three year term. She is the co-chairperson of the Advisory Committee’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Working Group.
The National Law Center for Children and Families applauds the efforts of the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Middle District of Alabama. If you would like to nominate an individual or agency for recognition as a Child Defender of the Month, contact us at
