Special Training Reaches Law Enforcement Officials

Over 100 law enforcement officials and other professionals who work with youth gathered in Kansas City earlier this month to attend training on understanding and investigating the sexual abuse of children.  The two day multidisciplinary training, offered free to attendees, was conducted by the Department of Social Services (DSS) State Technical Assistance Team (STAT) and funded by a grant from the Children's Trust Fund.  The Kansas City training is the fourth and final training in Missouri this year.  Training was also conducted in St. Louis, Springfield and Columbia and reached over 500 participants.
