Child Protective Investigations Transition

On July 28, 2023, all functions of child protective investigations, including ongoing investigations, will transition to the Department of Children and Families, and cease to be a function of the Pasco Sheriff’s Office, pursuant to Florida HB 7061. Please note that law enforcement will still respond to in-progress calls or situations in which a child needs immediate assistance. Non-criminal child protective follow-up investigations will be referred to DCF. Inquiries about child protective investigations must be directed to the Department of Children and Families moving forward.
