The IAIU, a statewide system, is designed to determine whether children in out-of-home care settings have been abused or neglected and to ensure their safety by ameliorating the risk of future harm. The IAIU is comprised of a Central Office and four regional investigative offices - Northern, Southern, Central and Metropolitan.
