Mandatory sexual assault training for police

All police officers must complete training on crimes involving sexual assault. The council designs the training with New York rape crisis centers. Topics include victim trauma, offender behavior, fair treatment rules, evidence collection, interviews, and local victim services. New officers get this as part of academy basics. The council also requires periodic retraining to keep skills current.

Stronger child protection rules and court monitoring

OCFS must set statewide rules for CPS work on sexual abuse reports, including investigation steps, when to intervene or close a case, when to start court cases, treatment plans, and which services count as CPS. OCFS must also set minimum standards for CPS when family court orders monitoring or supervision under specified Family Court Act sections, and local CPS must follow the required court notices. OCFS keeps local social services up to date on current child abuse laws, rules, and policies.

Child protective services training and online option

If you work for child protective services on or after December 1, 2006, you must complete six hours of in‑service training each year starting in year two. The training reviews how to spot and investigate abuse, legal and treatment updates, and lessons from field work. Beginning on or after April 1, 2025, the initial fundamentals course can be taken by distance learning if the county adopts a local law to allow it. The online course must verify attendance and let staff ask the instructor questions. The distance option does not cover the annual in‑service training.
