Collaboration is at the heart of Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center’s mission, and it’s partners like Deputy Chief Mike Minx who make it possible to create meaningful change in the lives of children. Deputy Chief Minx has been a steadfast advocate for justice, working closely with Braveheart to ensure children not only find the support they need but also see offenders held accountable.
“I really appreciate working with Braveheart because they focus on supporting the children while I’m able to concentrate on the investigation,” said Deputy Chief Minx. “Their team is dedicated to making sure the kids get the help they need, which allows me to focus on building a strong, prosecutable case for the state's attorney's office. It’s a great partnership that ultimately helps us deliver justice.”
For Deputy Chief Minx, his work goes beyond professional duty—he sees it as a profound opportunity to make a lasting impact.
“I’m motivated by the chance to make a real difference in the lives of kids who’ve been through some of the worst experiences imaginable,” he shared. “Knowing that my work helps get these kids the care they need, while also holding offenders accountable, keeps me driven. The teamwork between law enforcement and organizations like Braveheart makes it possible to give these kids the justice and support they deserve.”
While this work is deeply fulfilling, it comes with emotional challenges. Handling cases involving children can take a personal toll, but Deputy Chief Minx finds purpose in the outcomes that change lives.
“Working these cases is tough, and the impact it has on me personally can be heavy. But when I see the outcome of a case where a child gets the help they need and the offender is held accountable, it makes it all worth it. The goal is to make sure every child’s voice is heard, and I’m proud to work alongside Braveheart to get them the support they deserve while making sure justice is served.”
At Braveheart Children’s Advocacy Center, we are grateful for the dedication, professionalism, and compassion of partners like Deputy Chief Mike Minx.
