BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Earlier today, our community faced one of the most frightening scenarios a community can face, as our agency initiated a missing child investigation on a 4-year-old little boy from the Cocoa area.
Missing and endangered children and child abductions are without question the most pressing investigation an agency will ever face, as time is of the essence and every second counts.
While today’s case thankfully ended with the little fellow being found safe and sound, it was a test and testament to how Brevard County Law Enforcement and its citizens partner together to keep everyone safe.
From the various local, state, and federal agencies, that rushed to the scene to offer their resources and expertise, to the overwhelming number of citizens that offered their support and shared the flyer on social media, it was a team effort and a little boy is safe because of that team.
I would like to personally thank all of the various agencies that responded to this incident and all of our citizens and friends across the country who were working in their own way to make sure that Frankie made it home safe.
Folks, sometimes I think we forget just how amazing this community is and how blessed we are that we all partner together to keep each other and our community safe.
Yes, we all come from different walks of life, ideology, and even political views, but we are all still one community with one common mission…to keep everyone safe.
Our community is a family and as my Dad would often say…”it’s okay for us to mess with each other, but nobody can mess with us.”
