Protecting life and preventing crime are primary tasks of the
police. Children are citizens who have the right to the protection
offered by the criminal law. The police have a duty and
responsibility to investigate criminal offences committed against
children.
Cheshire Constabulary strives to ensure that any
investigations involving children are always carried out
sensitively, thoroughly and professionally.
