Casey Family Programs developed the attached strategy brief on real-time information sharing between child protection and law enforcement. Both child protective services and law enforcement have critical data about families, including information about prior reports, arrests, and convictions, that each agency needs to make informed decisions about child safety. Sharing this information promotes a more complete picture of the child and family, which can help caseworkers assess personal safety before entering a home and could impact child safety and well-being. Information sharing is also integral for greater collaboration on investigations between child protective services and law enforcement.
