Mandated Reporting for First Responders and Law Enforcement

See below for information or email [email protected]

Training Overview

The legislation that established the Justice Center identifies certain people, including first responders, as mandated reporters.  Mandated reporters are required to report potential incidents of abuse or neglect to the Justice Center.  

In this training, the Justice Center will teach participants about how to carry out their duties as mandated reporters.  This includes identifying a vulnerable person, how to determine when a report is required, how to make a report, and what to expect when calling the Justice Center. 

The Justice Center offers live training opportunities, as well as self-paced, on-demand Mandated Reporter training.
