After receiving a report of child sex or labor trafficking the investigator must immediately do the following:

• Send an email to the regional special investigator mailbox or notify the special investigator program director.
• Assign the SI secondary on the case to work a joint investigation. The SI will complete notification to local law enforcement.
• Contact the Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) to jointly determine whether a multidisciplinary team (MDT) response is needed based on local protocol, and whether a forensic interview of the child is appropriate. See 4422.2 Contacting a Children’s Advocacy Center About Certain Allegations.
• Contact the child’s caseworker, if the child is in the conservatorship of DFPS.
