Sec. 261.3023. LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE TO CHILD SAFETY CHECK ALERT. (b) If the circumstances described by Section 262.104 do not exist, the officer shall obtain the child's current address and any other relevant information and report that information to the department.

• A. The Court
• B. The Department
• C. The School
• D. The Police Department

Answer: (B)

In this provision, when the described circumstances don’t exist, the officer is required to take steps to help protect the child by reporting to the agency responsible for child welfare. The correct choice is the Department of Family and Protective Services, which is the department designated to receive such reports and handle welfare and protective services. The officer must obtain the child’s current address and any other relevant information and report it to that department so the appropriate agency can take action to ensure the child’s safety. The Court, School, and Police Department are not the mandated recipient for this specific reporting requirement.
