Congratulations to Detective Sgt. Maguire for winning the Genesee County Bearded Champion 2019. Thank you to everyone who donated, liked and shared the posts and brought awareness to Voices for Children and their cause. Please continue to support Voices for Children and you can follow them on social media.

Hello, My Name is D/Sgt. Scott Maguire, I have worked for the Montrose Township Police Department for 18 years, 11 years as a patrol officer, 5 years as a school resource officer and the last 2 years as D/Sgt. As a young officer I was told when I received a call involving children who were sexually abused, I was to just take an initial report from the parent and our detective would handle the interview with the victim. I knew our detective sent the victim to be interviewed at Voices for Children, but I didn’t know much about them. It wasn’t till I was a school resource officer in charge of juvenile complaints, when I learned what Voices for Children is all about. Montrose is a smaller community in Genesee County and we don’t get these types of complaints in volume, however we do get them. The community of Montrose and all communities in Genesee County send children of all types of abuse to be interviewed at Voices for Children by a highly experienced interviewer and it is hard to put into words what a valuable resource that is, but I’ll try. To put it into prospective, if I were to interview 6 children of sexual abuse a year, Voices for Children interviews approximately 600 children a year. The services Voices for Children provides does not stop at interviews, they have medical examiners, social workers, counselors and more. Voices for Children follows the victim’s case from the initial interview and will continue to provide services even after the case is closed. Employee’s at Voices for Children support the victim and family through the entire court process. One employee in particular, Daphne the support dog, is allowed to sit next to the child as they testify. Testifying can be hard for adults, imagine being a child telling strangers in a courtroom the horrific things that happened to them and Daphne will sit there as the child pets her, helping to ease the anxiety of testifying. This year Voices for Children asked law enforcement officers to stop shaving for the month of November to help bring awareness to their organization. I believe Voices for Children is an important resource for my community and Genesee County. I support Voices for Children, please help me raise money for this organization and donate any amount to my multi-colored beard. Thank You

A majority of car break-ins and thefts are from unlocked cars. Even if you are parked in front of your house, in your driveway or inside your garage, lock your doors. Criminals like to walk down the street and see if a car is unlocked, if it is they open the door and take whatever is visible and move on to the next target. However, if the door is locked, they are more likely to move on.
