“I absolutely love that they highlighted so many different parts of what Estie and I get to do together — from our work in the ICAC Unit and finding hidden electronic storage devices to visiting schools and talking with kids and families about online safety. And, of course, they included the hugs, because we all know Estie considers those a very important part of her job!” — Laura
