FSSA Seeks More Funding for Adult Protective Services
Indiana lawmakers are being asked to provide more funding for Adult Protective Services. A report by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration and the state's Prosecuting Attorneys Council calls for changes, including emergency short-term placement for endangered adults, a 24/7 hotline, technology upgrades, and more staff and training. Indiana is the only state in the nation with its criminal justice system in charge of Adult Protective Services. There are about 40 investigators in 18 offices or "hubs," to look into abuse cases reported in all 92 counties in the state.
