Our mission
is to lead the community in the prevention, identification and protection
of abused and neglected children. This is accomplished by working

stable, and permanent homes for children.
We are a nationally
accredited child protective services agency that
follows established standards of best practice. We hope that this
website is helpful to you and provides valuable insight into the
programs and practices we have in place to protect children and
