Youth Crimes

| |
The Youth Crimes Unit (Y.C.U.) serves to investigate violent crimes committed by or to children younger than 17 years of age. The detectives of this unit also investigate reports of missing or runaway children and reports of child abuse or neglect. Detectives in this unit are trained in techniques of interviewing victims of physical or sexual abuse and in conducting searches for missing or abducted children. Y.C.U. detectives serve as liaison with Child Protective Services caseworkers and other centers seeking to protect and serve children and families.
The detectives of this unit are a dichotomy of hard and soft. They are hard toward the perpetrators of violence toward children, but soft and sympathetic toward the child victims of violence.
The detectives of this unit are a very special breed indeed. They can be reached at 972-205-2040.
