The purpose of this release is to inform local social services districts of
a model protocol concerning the working relationship between police and
Protective Services for Adults (PSA). This protocol was developed by the
Department in conjunction with the Division of Criminal Justice Services
(DCJS). The document was prepared with the assistance of a workgroup of the Adult Services Committee of the New York Public Welfare Association and the Department's Law Enforcement Advisory Board, which included representatives from police departments, district attorneys' offices and social services districts. A draft version of this protocol was sent to all Directors of
Services for their review and comment.
