Girl Scout Troop 60162 Daises and Brownies were at the CACGC to work on earning their badge in Cybersecurity. Lt. Greg Malesich, Det. Dan Farid and his K9 partner, Walter, taught the Troop how computers work and how to stay safe on the internet while using social media and other gaming platforms.

Thank you Troop Leader Kaitlyn for the opportunity. The Detectives and staff at the CAC wish the girls our best.

We want to wish all of our forensic nurses the best during Forensic Nurses Week. We are so grateful for all they do to assist victims in Gloucester County. We are especially grateful for Forensic Nurse Coordinator Eileen Caraker and Forensic Nurse Gretchen Raimondo who are both housed at the CACGC. We see their dedication to their work and are lucky to work with them every day.

The Gloucester County Forensic Nurse Program provides trauma informed care to victims of sexual assault and non-fatal strangulation 24/7. If you are a victim of sexual assault assault or fatal, non-fatal strangulation, please report to the following hospitals of Gloucester County for care by a forensic nurse: Inspira Woodbury, Inspira Mullica Hill and Jefferson , Washington Township hospitals.

Two of the biggest fears that kids have when disclosing abuse are things that do, in fact, happen.
1 - People won't believe them or do anything about it.
2 - That someone they love will get in trouble and it will disrupt their family.

While the second fear is often something we have little control over, we can do something about the first one.

Let's believe and support kids.

Some helpful tips as Halloween approaches this week! 🎃🕷️

The CACGC send our thoughts and prayers to the family of Sergeant Monica Mosely and to her friends at the Cumberland County Prosecutors Office. Some of of us at the CACGC knew her personally from her time served in the Special Victims Unit. We are so sad for all who knew her. She will be missed but never forgotten. 💙💙💙

The CACGC collected well over 60 Halloween costumes for kids and had the pleasure of donating them to Angels community Outreach in Pitman today! We cannot thank the community, organizers and supporters enough for their generous donations! So many kids will be brought smiles and joy through their efforts!

We were so happy to give back to the Angels Community Outreach because they have done so much for the children at the CACGC !

Great tips on how to talk to your kids. Most of the time when you ask kids how their day was at school. Their answer is “fine”. Try asking more open ended questions and you’ll see more of what’s going on in your children’s world!!!

Happy First Day of School to all of the kids this week! School is such a safe place for kids. It is often at school where they feel comfortable disclosing abuse to a trusted adult. So today we wish them all well as they return to that safe comfortable place. 

And also a special Happy First Day of School to the teachers who are often the trusted adults. We are so grateful for all you do for the kids! Just remember if a child discloses abuse to you gather limited information and report it immediately!

A reminder, when taking and sharing your child's back-to-school photos, to leave out any information that a predator can use to access or groom your child. Having personal knowledge of your child's likes, dislikes, hobbies, school, pets, etc. gives a predator an opportunity to connect with your child - and anyone, including someone who follows you on social media (or someone with whom the photo gets shared somehow), can be a predator.

Another great news story highlighting our K-9 Walt and his handler Det. Dan Farid! Such a great addition to our resource list.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office has added an important new four-legged addition to the team trained to sniff out electronic devices where criminals often hide child sexual abuse material. Meet K-9 police officer, Walter.
