In 2008, Kristi McVee was a new mum flicking through the newspaper when a WA Police recruitment ad caught her eye. Less than two years later, she was sworn in as a police officer.

Kristi went on to build a career catching child abuse predators, interviewing child victims and putting their abusers behind bars. But one question kept coming back to her: how do you protect these kids before the harm happens?

After a decade in the force, she left to focus on prevention education. Now she has dedicated herself to giving parents and caregivers the conversations, tips and advice she believes will help keep children safe.
