True Blue Conversations - Western Australian Police Officer Detective Kristi McVee

True Blue Conversations Podcast

On this week’s episode I spoke with Western Australian Police Officer Kristi McVee, a former detective and specialist child interviewer, she spent years investigating child sexual abuse and prosecuting pedophiles. In this chat, she gets real about the scope of the problem and the challenges you face as a cop chasing down pedophiles. She spent 10 years in the police force before retiring from the force. When she retired, she believed there was a better way to help. By taking a proactive approach, rather than a reactive approach, she knew she could help prevent child abuse and break the cycle of trauma that victims are so often subjected to. She founded CAPE-AU (Child Abuse Prevention and Education) to provide an educational service for parents, caregivers, and guardians around child sexual abuse protection and prevention. She recently published her first book Operation KidSafe: A Detective’s guide to Child Abuse Prevention and hosts The CAPE Podcast.
