APS 2.2 Intakes: Source of Allegations by County FY2014-FY2023

Human Resources Code 48.152 requires that APS investigations include an interview with the person age 65 or older or adult with disabilities, if appropriate, and with persons thought to have knowledge of the circumstances.

APS interviews all appropriate parties, including reporters, alleged victims, alleged perpetrators, witnesses, medical staff, and others who have knowledge of allegations and alleged victims' situations.

DFPS staff must not disclose the reporter’s name to the victim, the victim’s family, or the public. The reporter’s name may be released verbally or in writing to the courts, the district or county attorney, law enforcement agencies, and DFPS staff.

APS case-related information is confidential. APS only provides the reporter with pertinent case information necessary to:

• confirm whether allegations will be accepted for investigation;

• collect evidence and gather relevant information related to allegations and the alleged victim’s overall situation and risk; and

• arrange for protective services to reduce risk of harm or alleviate abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation.

1. A report of abuse/neglect/financial exploitation may come from multiple sources making the source total higher than the total number of intakes.

2. Inclusion based on intake closure date.
