October 28, 2010- Chief Charlie Beck attended the Los Angeles County Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse 
and Neglect (ICAN) conference held at the Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. The goal of this year’s conference was to examine the “Nexus” between child abuse and domestic violence. Some of the topics covered during the conference included Emotional Trauma in the Home and School Setting, Breaking the Cycle of Violence and the Legacy of Intergenerational Gang Issues.
During the conference Chief Beck acknowledged that all of his achievements in life are due to the family support system he received as a child and teenager. His family’s strong support system enabled him to pursue his dreams. Chief Beck thanked ICAN attendees for making a difference in children’s lives by stopping domestic violence and enabling them to also fulfill their dreams.“Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the most important people in our society, our youths, without our youths we don’t have a future, without a future we are nothing.”
The Los Angeles County ICAN serves as the official County agent that coordinates the development of services for the prevention, identification and treatment of child abuse and neglect. ICAN develops strategies to implement programs that improve a community’s ability to meet the needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children.
