Launched as a pilot program in 2013, the HERO Corps gives wounded, injured and ill veterans the chance to assist federal agents in the fight against child predators. Peter Edge is the executive director of Homeland Security Investigations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which helps manage the HERO Corps. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with an update on the program.
