A Note from Sheriff McBride

“First Light, our local 24/7 child abuse and sexual assault resource center, has been an instrumental partner in assisting the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, especially with cases of this nature.

From start to finish, the men and women of First Light have outstanding professionalism and genuinely care for the victims they serve. They want justice for their victims just as much as we do!

Our strong partnership with them is a key component to the success of
these types of cases, ensuring that justice is served. Our collaboration allows for a coordinated, victim-centered approach to addressing sexual assault and child abuse, making certain that victims are not only rescued but are also supported through the judicial process.

By working closely together, First Light and the Sheriff’s Office play an integral role in holding offenders accountable and raising awareness about child abuse and sexual assault in our community. This ultimately helps to secure justice for victims and prevent future trauma.

We, as a whole, are very thankful for the impact First Light has on our community! I am so proud of the incredible work that they do.””
