BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA – Our partnership with law enforcement in combating crime and defending the rights of victims is something I am very proud of.

I was honored to have been invited to instruct a group of Brevard County Deputies on recent changes to Florida Statutes and rulings by the courts.

The open exchange provided a great opportunity for us to strengthen that partnership and develop effective enforcement and prosecution strategies going forward.
