Which department of the police handles elderly and disabled abuse

Question

i figured i could just talk to the front desk clerk, but usually they are not very helpful.

Answer 1

Don't bother with the cops. Go to the DAs office and file a complaint there.

Answer 2

It can vary from each jurisdiction.  In mine, it's the Family Crime Unit (it doesn't matter if it was not a family elderly abuse, they're just the ones that handle it).  You can also check with the "crimes against persons unit" or something like that.

Answer 3

There are state agencies that work with the Elderly and Adults with Disabilities to help protect them and provide services. If you have a Health and Human Services Department in your state or something similar, contact them!

Answer 4

You will have to make a report to a patrol officer first, anyway. Then, the complaint/report will be directed to the correct division. Detectives handle the follow-up investigations. They usually aren't the reporting officer, also,

Answer 5

I agree with the person above me.
