The Carroll County Advocacy and Investigation Center
The CCAIC Unit, also known as the Children's Advocacy Center of Carroll County, Maryland, is a recognized member of the National Network of Children's Advocacy Center. Our purpose is to protect the child and adult citizens of Carroll County from child-physical abuse, child-sexual abuse, rape, sexual assaults and neglect; to provide counseling for the victim and family and to hold the offender accountable for his/her actions. For the protection of those citizens who wish to make a report, all cases are held to strict confidentiality.
In conjunction with the investigative aspect, the unit is a member of a multi-disciplinary team which offers access to immediate and continuing intervention, medical treatment and referrals as well as crisis intervention and counseling through joint team members of the Dept. of Social Services, Rape Crisis, Family & Children's Services and the Department of Health. In addition, education, awareness and recognition of these crimes is enhanced by the Department of Day Care Licensing and the Carroll County Board of Education and Pupil Services.
