The Crimes Against Children Division (CACD) is comprised of a central administrative office, hotline operations and ten area investigative offices. The Hotline Call Center is staffed by a team of specially trained personnel and may launch an investigation based on reports which meet the criteria of state and federal laws.

The Arkansas State Police is always looking for the next generation of CACD hotline operators, and investigators. If you are interested in a position within CACD, CLICK HERE!

Reports of Child Maltreatment

Reports of maltreatment can be reported by anyone, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, through a toll-free phone number — 1-800-482-5964 or (844) SAVEACHILD.

If there is any reason to suspect the life of a child is in imminent danger, immediately contact the nearest local law enforcement agency or dial 9-1-1, then follow-up with a call to the CACD hotline.

NEW SERVICE!!! – Mandated Reporters can CLICK HERE to create an account and send in reports using a new secure online portal. The new website is designed to be user-friendly and easy to learn.
