Alabama Attorney General Troy King

Mission Statement of Alabama Attorney General Troy King's Family Protection Unit "Alabama is blessed to be the home to more natural resources than any other state. Of all the resources found within our borders, however, none is any more precious than our people. Our children are the future and the hope of Alabama. We must make every effort and exhaust every energy necessary to defend their innocence from those who would abuse and exploit them. Likewise, those who built the foundation upon which our future will be constructed, our seniors, deserve our vigilance against those who would take advantage of their vulnerability as they grow older. I pledge anew to the people of Alabama that the protection of our families, from our children to our grandparents, will be the cornerstone of my tenure as your Attorney General." -Attorney General Troy King

The Family Protection Unit was established by Attorney General Troy King to serve as a clearinghouse for crime and prevention issues that affect Alabama families and as a presence to vigorously pursue and prosecute those who take advantage of our most vulnerable citizens. This unit will function in collaboration with state, regional and local agencies to ensure that these critical issues will receive priority attention throughout Alabama. "There can be no more important calling on the part of a public servant than to ensure the protection of those members of our society who are least capable of protecting themselves," says Attorney General King. "Alabama's families are victimized daily by cowardly, immoral individuals who choose to prey on the weakest among us. Your Family Protection Unit will be unrelenting in its efforts to ensure that we do everything within our power to make Alabama's families safer and more secure."

The Family Protection Unit consists of four fundamental components: Child Abuse and Exploitation, Elder Abuse and Exploitation, Consumer Fraud, and Welfare Fraud.
