DCFS Gets New Law Enforcement Liaison | Baton Rouge News
Description
Starting January 1, DCFS gets a major upgrade with a new statewide law enforcement liaison designed to clear up jurisdictional confusion and ensure faster, more coordinated responses in child safety cases. While the liaison is already collaborating with DCFS staff, lawmakers like Senate President Pro Tempore Regina Barrow remain skeptical about whether the integration is truly effective. She, the bill’s author, urges deeper collaboration with the attorney general and pushes for immediate action — including convening a critical incident review team for every confirmed child death due to abuse or neglect — to prevent a projected doubling of fatalities by year’s end.
