The DeKalb County Sheriffâs Office said after meeting with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) for Children a few months ago, they discussed different ways they could assist each other in efforts to better protect the children in DeKalb County.
According to alabamacasa.org, the mission of the Alabama CASA Network, Inc. is to equip and empower CASA programs to advocate for all of Alabama’s abused and neglected children.
âAlso, we talked about ways CASA could grow to better serve our county,â Sheriff Nick Welden said. âAt the time, LT Jeff Bain, CPT Brad Edmondson and myself decided we would attempt to put a fundraiser together to help CASA. We continued to move forward with this much needed assistance even after the tragic passing of LT Bain. We know he would want the same, for he had a huge heart for helping children, just as we do.â
