Forensic Interviewing Services

Forensic Services at the Children’s Advocacy Center are integral to the investigation of child sexual abuse. This department offers a child-friendly environment where forensic specialists and evaluators can get the necessary information in a non-threatening, non-leading manner.

All interviews are digitally recorded and broadcast to all necessary staff on a case to prevent subjecting children to repeated interviews. If a child does not disclose during the interview, but there is other evidence to suggest that they have been a victim of abuse, our staff are available to conduct extended abuse assessments—allowing these children the opportunity to share what may have happened in a safe environment.
