CARE equips frontline officers with an evidence-based risk assessment that automatically routes high-risk cases to the local Children’s Advocacy Center and partner agencies in real time via software.
Piloted in Albany, Georgia, CARE increased services for children by 18 percent while reducing sexual, physical, and domestic crimes against children by 16 percent. This workshop guides attendees through the CARE protocol, shares implementation data, and outlines practical steps for scaling the model nationwide. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how law-enforcement-initiated triage can prevent child maltreatment, strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration, and act as a path forward to MDTs.
