What is the Children's Justice Center?
MISSION:
To provide a comfortable, neutral, child-friendly atmosphere for children to receive coordinated services during the child abuse investigative process.

The Children’s Justice Center (CJC) is a homelike facility designed to make children feel safe while they are being interviewed regarding alleged abuse. The CJC coordinates communication and teamwork with all involved agencies to represent the best interest of the child, advocate for the child's needs and provide access to service and resources. 

The CJC is a working public/private partnership for our children. The homelike facility and the treatment programs of the CJC are supported by private donations from the community. The CJC receives partial operational funding through appropriation by the Utah State Legislature, administered by the Office of the Utah Attorney General.
The Friends of the Sanpete County Children's Justice Center generously support us through private donations and volunteer efforts.  www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563131960469 or www.instagram.com/friendsofthesanpetecjc?igsh=MTZkOW5xaHF6d3c2Yg==

THE CHILDREN’S JUSTICE CENTER COORDINATES the investigation of child sexual and physical abuse.
 law enforcement personnel and CPS social workers, including the comprehensive child interview process, multidisciplinary staffing and tracking of the case.
Medical forensic exams for child abuse victims are available and recommended in consultation with PRIMARY CHILDRENS MEDICAL CENTER.
Mental Health Treatment from contracted providers for the child and family may be available through the Center.


Reporting Possible Abuse
Utah law requires that anyone with reason to believe a child has been abused or neglected must report to the Division of Family Services at  1-855-323-3237 (24 hour intake line) or contact local law enforcement.
​Please call 911 for emergency situations.

Protecting Children is Everyone’s Responsibility!
“Reason to Believe” does not mean that you must prove a child is being abused or neglected. It is the role of the investigators (law enforcement officer or Protective Service worker) to investigate and establish proof. 

Purpose of the CJC:
  • To provide a comfortable, child-friendly atmosphere for children to receive coordinated services during the investigative process.
  • To decrease secondary trauma that may be caused by the criminal justice and child protection system.
  • To minimize, through coordinated efforts, the number of times a child may be interviewed.
  • To provide an atmosphere that is neutral and is conducive for professionals to conduct interviews.
  • To coordinate a multidisciplinary team response with ongoing goal of improving outcomes. 
  • To provide training for professionals.
