Child Development-Community Policing Program (CDCP)

The Child Development-Community Policing Program (CDCP) works to break the cycle of violence by intervening shortly after a child has witnessed or been affected by a violent or traumatic event. A police officer who has received train­ing in child development, along with a mental health clinician, and a member of the community will meet with the child and his/her caregivers to assess the child’s needs and to determine whether follow-up treatment is needed.
