2026 Crimefighter of the Year  

We are honored to announce that Courtney, Jena-Lisa, and Haley won The Crimefighter of the Year Award - one of the highest honors presented at the annual CrimeCon CLUE Awards. It recognizes a person, group, or organization that has made a significant impact on a criminal case, victims’ rights, public safety, or the criminal justice system. They received the award at CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas.
