The Domestic Violence Unit provides comprehensive services to victims and investigates criminal offenses to hold abusers accountable. The unit provides services ranging from safety planning, Order of Protection assistance, case investigation, and preparation for prosecution. All of these services are provided at the Family Justice Center, which provides a non-threatening environment where the victim and their family can feel safe. The Family Justice Center, which has been in operation since 2006, is supported by more than sixty partner agencies and is the gateway to our community’s resources for victims. The Juvenile Unit investigates crimes involving persons under the age of eighteen, whether they are a suspect or a victim. This detail also investigates cases involving child sex abuse and all missing persons, both adults and juveniles. This unit works closely with the Department of Children's Services and the District Attorney General's Office to ensure successful prosecutions. In addition, the unit works to safeguard our community by enforcing Sex Offender Registry Laws.
