Commitment to Accuracy
DAP strives to present information responsibly and accurately.
Whenever reasonably possible, information is reviewed before publication.
However, investigations often involve rapidly developing situations and information that may continue to evolve after publication.
If credible factual errors are identified, DAP may review the information and determine whether clarification, correction, or editorial updates are appropriate.
Editorial decisions remain solely within the discretion of Dads Against Predators.
Respect for the Legal Process
DAP recognizes that criminal investigations, arrests, charging decisions, and prosecutions are the responsibility of the appropriate law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities.
Nothing published by DAP should be interpreted as a substitute for the legal process or as a determination of criminal guilt.
Individuals are entitled to the protections afforded by the legal system.
Relationship with Law Enforcement
Dads Against Predators recognizes the important role law enforcement plays in protecting children and investigating criminal activity.

DAP does not publish content for the purpose of interfering with legitimate law enforcement operations or investigations.
