Utah Children's Justice Center

In 2018, the Utah Attorney General described the CJC as:a child-focused, facility-based program in which representatives from law enforcement, child protection, prosecution, mental health, medical services, and victim advocacy work together to conduct interviews and make team decisions about investigation, prosecution, and treatment of child abuse cases.

In an average year, Utah’s CJCs conduct 4,500 interviews, handle 5,500 cases, and serve as many as 15,000 people.

At the CJC, as Utah County's website explained in 2002, the interviews can be completed in a home-like setting by law enforcement or social service investigators.

The purpose of the CJC is to provide a facility where children can feel more comfortable and receive coordinated services as part of the investigative process.

These include:[3] Utah has 26 justice centers where child victims can be interviewed in a safe child-friendly environment.
