The Yuma Police Department Sex Crimes Detectives investigate indecent exposure, public sexual indecency, sexual abuse, sexual conduct with a minor, sexual assault of adults & children, sexual assault with a spouse, molestation of a child, possession of child pornographic material and sexual exploitation of minors under the age of 18.

In Yuma County, Amberly's Place, a Victim Advocacy Center, has been established to assist victims of violent crimes. This specially designed center, which is available for use by all law enforcement agencies and Child Protective Services (CPS), benefits both the investigations personnel and the victim by creating a one-stop facility for the investigative process and for crisis intervention. Detectives and CPS personnel specially trained in forensic interviewing may use the child friendly rooms for videotaping victim interviews.

Another benefit of this center is that forensic medical exams are offered on site. Doctors specializing in the examination and treatment of child abuse conduct these exams.

Victims are less traumatized by the amiable location, which provides crisis intervention and referral services to both the victim and his/her family. The Yuma County Attorney’s Office and CPS have offices at the Center, and are available for questions or referrals.
