Arkansas State Police brief joint committee on quarterly Crimes Against Children report
Summary
Major Jeff Drew of the Arkansas State Police’s Crimes Against Children Division reviewed the CACD quarterly oversight report (Jan.–Mar. 2024) for the joint Senate and House children’s committees, describing types of child‑abuse calls and which were substantiated; transcript did not include numeric totals.
Major Jeff Drew, commander of the Crimes Against Children Division of the Arkansas State Police, reviewed the division’s quarterly oversight report for Jan. 1–Mar. 31, 2024, before a joint meeting of the Senate Committee on Children and Youth and the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs on Aug. 26 in Little Rock.
The report, introduced to the committees as Exhibit C, summarized the types of child‑abuse calls the CACD received during the quarter and identified which investigations were later substantiated. Major Drew presented these categories and described trends across the period; the transcript records that the division “reviewed the quarterly report detailing the types of child abuse calls that were received as well as the numbers which were substantiated” but does not include the report’s numerical totals or line‑item figures in the public record.
Committee members received the briefing as part of routine oversight. The transcript does not record further discussion of specific cases, recommended statutory changes, or votes tied to the CACD report. The meeting then proceeded to presentations from the Department of Human Services’ Division of Children and Family Services.
The committee adjourned later the same morning at 11:50 a.m. and did not announce additional actions or deadlines tied to the CACD quarterly report in the recorded transcript.
