Mission Statement:
Children's Division is dedicated to professional practice n the protection of children from violence and neglect by their caretakers, preservation of families, the provision of alternative care, and the achievement of permanence for children to help them become productive adults.
Child Protective Services (CPS) is the only public entity responsible for safeguarding the physical, mental, and emotional well being of abused and neglected children. CPS receives all reports of suspected child abuse and maltreatment within families and conducts investigations first to assess the risk of harm to the children and then to examine the allegations of maltreatment in each report. In cases where neglect or abuse exists, CPS provides and arranges for services necessary to ensure that risks to the children's safety are eliminated as well as to work to preserve and stabilize family life whenever possible.
