The Children Justice Centers are established throughout Utah and support the investigation and prosecution of child abuse offenses. Salt Lake County’s Children’s Justice Center is a department under the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office.
“As the District Attorney of Salt Lake County, I want to personally acknowledge the generous donation by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,” said Sim Gill. “As a prominent member of our community, their generous act and stance against child abuse demonstrates the value of collaborative efforts to serve and protect the most vulnerable in our community. The funds will directly support the important work of the Children Justice Centers, and will have a positive impact upon the children and their families who are the unfortunate victims of child abuse crimes.”
