Interdiction for the Protection of Children (FREE)
PRESENTED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Interdiction for the Protection of Children is designed to make front-line officers and investigators aware of the variety of resources available to assist them in establishing the status of a child who may be missing, exploited, or at risk of exploitation and what courses of action are immediately available.
