Shadow Warriors Project has partnered with Saving Children and Reviving Souls (SCARS) to equip Crimes Against Children (CAC) law enforcement with K9s trained to detect electronic devices used to store and distribute child sexual abuse material. The value of the non-profit's donation for these elite trained K9s and officers exceeds $100k. Shadow Warriors Project was founded by Mark ‘Oz’ Geist—a Marine, security and military consultant, intelligence officer, and ex-law enforcement.

Mr. Geist, better known for the movie "13 Hours" detailing the attack in Benghazi where he is credited with assisting in saving 25 people from the attack, will be personally available for the presentation and demonstration of the dogs on December 4th. Geist aims to use his background in fighting crimes against children to assist agencies in locating and rescuing child victims of sexual abuse, healing them, and imprisoning their predators.

Benton County Sheriff’s Crimes Against Children detective, Ashley Duke, and chief of Greenland School Police, Tyler Underwood, are completing the 4 weeks of special training necessary for utilizing the dogs. Both agencies are members of Arkansas’ FBI joint task force, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit, which is led by FBI Special Agent Brenan Despain.

The agencies' missions are to make Arkansas the leader in the fight against child abuse and trafficking crimes.
