CPS Has Called. What Should I Do?

In many instances, you can be contacted by either the police department or CPS, which stands for child protective service. Each county has a child protective service agency that investigates allegations of abuse or neglect that may come from first reporters, including schools staff, doctors, and hospital staff. It could also be a neighbor.

Before you respond to a CPS or a police inquiry, it’s very important that you contact a criminal attorney immediately. Whether or not you committed an offense, the information can be misinterpreted or misunderstood and treated as an admission of guilt. Similar to a police officer that can charge you, CPS can make a criminal referral, depending upon what their investigation yields. Before you respond to any official inquiries, whether it be from CPS or the local police department, immediately contact a criminal defense attorney.
