Re: Centralized CPS Reporting

["Teresa Bacchi" <BACCHTG@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wisconsin is decentralized reporting.  There are 72 counties in Wisconsin and each county human services department is set up to receive and handle reports of suspected child maltreatment. Reports may also be made to local law enforcement and then they in turn must report to the local county human services dept.

Michigan has a Central Registry located on Cezar Chavez Blvd., Lansing, Michigan
and the 24 hour toll free hotline is 1-800-99-NOABUSE.
