🚨 Officer Heidi Chance spent decades going undercover to catch predators targeting children. Her urgent message: NO family is immune, but EVERY family can be protected with the right knowledge. Officer Heidi Chance served 25 years in law enforcement specializing in undercover operations to catch predators and traffickers. She's testified as an expert witness in court and now trains law enforcement agencies, schools, and community organizations on how to recognize and stop these crimes.
