Energizing... Informative... Motivational... Dynamic...
These are all words attendees have used to
describe Detective Mike Johnson and the
powerful impact he has on his audience.  
His candid, yet humorous approach to the
very serious subject of child abuse has

States, Europe and South Africa.  

Whether through a luncheon keynote
address or a two-day site training, Mike
Johnson re-energizes seasoned child
abuse professionals and helps provide new

willingness to confront all problems
head-on.

Child Abuse Investigation Training and Resources for Multidisciplinary Teams
Detective Johnson engages his audience with a unique ability seldom found in the child
abuse investigative arena.  His 25 years of law enforcement experience combined with being
one of the founders of the
Collin County Children's Advocacy Center - one of the most
advanced and successful CACs in the nation - enables Mike to bring an unparalleled  
combination of experience and talents to the table, and the ability to "know that of which he
speaks" on multiple fronts.

Detective Johnson's resonance is borne out of several factors.  He initially gained practical
experience investigating all forms of child abuse prior to the onset of children's advocacy
centers (CACs) and multidisciplinary teams (MDTs).  His children's advocacy center
experience is that of more than "just" an investigator.  Detective Johnson is a CAC founder,
task force, board of directors and advisory board member.  He was also instrumental in the
creation of the sex offender legislation referred to as
"Ashley's Laws" in the state of Texas.  

Mike either created, helped to evolve or participated in numerous CAC programs:  on-site Law
Enforcement and CPS;  the use of advocates; the use of sexual assault nurse examiners;
forensic interview protocols; the creation of a rural law enforcement task force; an
adopt-a-caseworker program;  the Rainbow Room;  forensic interview training and protocol;
therapy protocol for victims, siblings and non-offending parents, umbrella agencies and
children's advocacy centers.  In addition, all topics related to creating and maintaining MDTs
and CACs, MDTs relationship with the CAC board and the community; fundraising; board
development; and MDT communications.  

He continues to observe firsthand as a site trainer at hundreds of communities across the
United States, giving him a clear picture of the trends taking place within CACs and MDTs.

Detective Johnson has received countless praise for his willingness to discuss the most
difficult topics, including the relationships between the various MDT disciplines and the
intersection of research versus practice.  Never boring, a "Detective Mike" presentation is sure
to generate as much discussion after the training as it does during.
