Guide to CPS.
Child Protective Services (CPS) is a part of Division of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) within the Arizona State Department of Economic Security and works on behalf of children and families of Arizona. The role of CPS is to ensure the safety of children while maintaining the integrity of the family. When allegations of child abuse or neglect, exploitation or abandonment indicate the need, Arizona law requires that CPS conduct an investigation. One of the most important functions of CPS is to help families receive the services necessary to enable them to remain together and to build better family relationships (http://www.de.state.az.us).

My unit normally investigates Priority 1 and Priority 2 reports. These priorities require that we respond within 2 hours for a priority 2 and within 24 hours for a priority 2.
