Child Protection Services is a mandated service that provides 24-hour assistance in responding to allegations of child abuse and neglect. Our response includes assessment of risk and safety, and to provide support to families through the provision of early intervention, prevention and trauma informed services. Referrals can be made by law enforcement, schools, medical professionals, or anyone who is concerned for the safety and well-being of a child. Each referral is screened through the HUB.

At Larimer County, it is our top priority to meet the needs of those we serve. We work hard to provide excellent customer service, and your feedback is important to us.
