Police get child abuse allegations promptly
Beginning November 1, 2025, Oklahoma requires immediate written police referrals for child abuse or neglect allegations involving noncaregivers. These are people not responsible for the child’s health, safety, or welfare. Hotline supervisors must ensure reports reach the appropriate local police agency upon receipt, before screening out a referral. The Department of Human Services must also immediately refer these cases when identified at intake, during an assessment, or during an investigation. This separate duty applies when the alleged harm does not appear to stem from a responsible person’s failure to protect the child. The department must keep a record of every transmission to police. A referral does not prove abuse occurred.
