CAC Team Spirit Banquet Professionals Honored for Protecting Children  Josh Russell of Child Protective Services took home the top honor at the Fannin County Children’s Advocacy Center’s (CAC) annual team spirit banquet. Russell was selected as the CAC Outstanding Team Member by the multidisciplinary team of professionals who work on cases involving crimes against children in Fannin County. Honorable mention recognition was given to investigator Terry Bee of Bonham Police Department and counselor Michelle Griffith.
“This is a big honor because it is the team who selects the winner,” said Sandy Barber, CAC Executive Director.
Russell has been an investigator with Child Protective Services for three years. He is responsible for investigating reports made to the child abuse hotline. Often his work requires him to collaborate with law enforcement. Barber described observing Russell talking with various members of local law enforcement during the monthly team meetings and she could see that coordination was happening even outside of the meetings at the Children’s Advocacy Center.
The Children’s Advocacy Center is a program of the Fannin County Children’s Center. The CAC’s mission is to provide a neutral, child-friendly agency that facilitates a multidisciplinary approach in the prevention, detection, investigation and treatment of child abuse. The team includes Child Protective Services, law enforcement, prosecution, medical personnel, counselors and other professionals.
