The Family Services Unit consists of officers assigned to work cases involving juveniles as well as domestic violence related cases. These investigations can include ongoing issues that range from abuse to runway cases to truancy cases. The Unit also handles missing person cases. The Family Services Unit also works on domestic related cases that are a result of a call for service from an officer on patrol or information provided by citizens. The Family Services Unit Officers follow up with the family to develop a relationship in order to address concerns and work through ongoing issues. The Officers work regularly throughout the community as well as support Uniform Patrol shifts.
The Family Services Unit is actively involved in the community, regularly participating in local events and often taking the lead in organizing initiatives. Each year, the Unit partners with the Family Justice Center during Domestic Violence Awareness Month to support and help resupply the center, ensuring vital resources are available for those in need.
