Jared Hudson spent his adult life as a Navy SEAL sniper in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today he works in law enforcement and runs Covenant Rescue Group, which goes after the people who traffic children, and he does it by training the officers closest to home.
On Veterans Day, guest host Robert McNeily, in for Jenny Beth Martin, asks him how it works. Hudson's group teaches local law enforcement how to go after the people targeting children in their own community, and how to do it without violating the Fourth and Sixth Amendments. If the agency wants, the group then helps it set up a live sting. When the arrests come, Hudson says, about three in ten of the people arrested turn out to have a victim tied to them at that moment, which opens a second investigation to find and rescue that child. The group runs two to three trainings a month around the country.
Then McNeily asks the Veterans Day question: what should you do for a veteran you know today? Hudson's answer is simple, and it ends where his own faith does. Go and tell one of them you appreciate what they did, whether they deployed or not. They stepped into the gap.
