Elder Abuse Investigation Protocol

An Elder Abuse Investigation Protocol is a document that outlines the steps and procedures to be followed when investigating suspected cases of elder abuse. It provides guidance to investigators, law enforcement officers, and other professionals involved in the investigation process. The protocol typically includes instructions on how to respond to reports of abuse, how to conduct interviews with victims and witnesses, and how to collect and preserve evidence. It also outlines the roles and responsibilities of different agencies and individuals involved in the investigation, such as adult protective services, law enforcement, and healthcare providers. The goal of the investigation protocol is to ensure that investigations are conducted thoroughly, efficiently, and in a manner that prioritizes the safety and well-being of the victim.
