RECOGNITION and AWARDS

Kindervision ‘Greatest Save’ Award I nvestigators Nick Bogdanovich and Mark Dent were honored this fiscal year for their dedicated work investigating some of the most heinous crimes that come across our investigators’ desks. In this case, their work led to the arrest of a suspect sexually abusing a juvenile family member.
