I don’t have access to live updates in this moment. Here’s what I can share based on the latest publicly available information I know:
The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, DC has a Youth Investigations Branch and a Youth and Family Engagement Division (YFED) that focus on missing children, child abuse, exploitation, and juvenile crime prevention, as well as programs to improve police–youth relations. These units typically handle cases involving juvenile missing persons, PINS (Persons In Need of Supervision), and online safety concerns, alongside outreach and prevention efforts.[3]
MPD has historically integrated youth-focused work under broader community engagement efforts, including collaborations with other city agencies and community organizations to address factors contributing to youth violence and safety, such as school engagement and prevention programs.[3]
In recent years there have been organizational shifts in some departments to place more emphasis on youth engagement and family services as part of a broader public-safety strategy, including the formation or reallocation of divisions like YFED and related units to coordinate prevention, intervention, and investigation efforts involving youths.[5]
If you want the most up-to-date press releases, organizational chart changes, or current initiatives specific to MPD’s Youth and Family Services Division, I can search for recent news and provide direct citations. Would you like me to look up the latest official MPD statements or recent media coverage?
