    5. Mr. Dysart provided the expertise and guidance that, over several months, forged Operation Empty Nest in April 2019. The Atlanta, Georgia, operation recovered missing children who were victims of sex trafficking, exploitation, and sexual and physical abuse. It involved the U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit, Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Forces, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

    6. Mr. Dysart’s involvement began in 2016, when he started the U.S. Marshals Service Missing Child Unit, following passage of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. Without additional staff or funding, he built the unit using existing resources and developed a training curriculum used nationwide. In collaboration with NCMEC, Dysart helped recover 500 critically missing children in just the past two years.

    7. “Senior Inspector Dysart used his extensive experience to prepare and direct the highly successful Operation Empty Nest,” says Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Administrator Caren Harp. “The Department of Justice praises his expertise and collaborative abilities, which made possible the rescue of 16 children — among our society’s most vulnerable — from evil people who would do them harm.”
