Featured Project: Southern Arizona Child and Family Center
Description
The Southern Arizona Child and Family Center is a collaborative effort
to build a 25,000 square foot center that will provide the complete range
of services to families in crisis. The Center will be modeled after centers
in other communities that have already realized the benefits of co-locating
various agencies involved in aiding victims and investigating acts of
family violence. The primary goal is to minimize the trauma to victims,
especially children, who must now travel from one location to another
in order to receive medical assistance, report the crime, and provide
investigators and prosecutors with necessary information.
Key Features
- Co-locate agencies in one facility - Minimize trauma to victims
- Streamline reporting and investigation
- Strengthen prosecutors' cases
Partners
Tucson Police Department, City of Tucson Prosecutor's Office, Pima County
Attorney's Office, Arizona Attorney General's Office, Arizona Child Protective
Services, Brewster Center for Women and Children, Domestic Violence Advocacy
Center, Arizona Public Service
Impact
The Southern Arizona Child and Family Center will reduce trauma to victims
of family violence, will streamline investigations, and will help investigating
agencies collaborate.
