Halloween is a night full of costumes, candy, and excitement — but for predators and traffickers, it can also be an opportunity.
In this special Halloween episode of Guardians of Innocence, we dive deep into how to keep kids safe both on the streets and online this spooky season.
Join Commander Dennis Diaz and the Diaz Task Force team as they share critical safety tips, real-world facts, and prevention strategies every parent, teacher, and community member should know before Halloween night.
