SHERMAN, Texas – In a proactive effort to protect families, the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office announced a free educational class on child exploitation and trafficking. The session, led by veteran investigators, will take place next month at Sherman Bible Church.
Why the class matters
According to the sheriff’s office, more than 200 child exploitation and trafficking cases have been reported in Grayson County this year alone. Capt. Jeremy Cox emphasized that perpetrators can come from outside the area or be members of the local community, warning residents that “it’s the world, not just Grayson County, that these crimes happen in.”
What attendees will learn
The class will cover real‑world dangers observed both locally and nationwide. Participants will hear directly from investigators who handle these cases daily, gaining insight into how online predators pose as friends or classmates and how they exploit a child’s vulnerabilities. Recognizing warning signs early, officials say, is essential to keeping children safe.
How to register
Community members interested in attending can register through the link provided by the sheriff’s office. The event is open to all parents, guardians, educators, and concerned citizens who want to better protect the children of Grayson County.
Supporting families and faith
Holding the class at Sherman Bible Church underscores the partnership between local law enforcement and faith‑based organizations in safeguarding families. The collaboration reflects the community’s shared commitment to uphold traditional family values and ensure a safe environment for every child.
