Identifying Risk to Children

Police officers need to understand, assess, and investigate child abuse incidents effectively. This includes recognizing risks like antisocial behavior, domestic abuse, and crimes involving children. Officers must take appropriate action and protect children in various risky situations such as burglary, drug warrants, noisy parties, and more. The protocol involves submitting detailed reports, assessing the child's well-being, and taking necessary actions to safeguard them.
