Chattanooga Police Department Participates In Child Abuse Prevention & Awareness Month

  • Monday, April 3, 2017
A new magnet will be displayed on Chattanooga Police Department patrol vehicles during the month of April in an effort to raise awareness for National Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. 

The magnets are blue ribbons with the words "Stop Child Abuse." They'll be displayed on the driver's side rear quarter panel of the vehicle (photo attached).

"We're proud to display the blue magnets this month," said Special Victims Unit Lieutenant Anthony Easter.
"CPD is honored to partner with the Children's Advocacy Center of Hamilton County to promote wellness of children and prevent child abuse in our community." 

The Children's Advocacy Center of Hamilton County supplied the magnets to CPD. The non-profit organization is housed at the Family Justice Center along with CPD's Special Victims Unit. The CACHC provides forensic interviews, medical examinations, therapy, and family advocacy to children referred by the Department of Children's Services or law enforcement. The CACHC also provides education programs to community members.
 
To report child abuse in Chattanooga please call the Tennessee Child Abuse Hotline number at 1-877-54-ABUSE.
