APS Investigations
 

I would like to propose that the APS investigations be completed within 60 days, as often times the investigations go well beyond the 45 days, which results in the APS investigators being out of compliance with policy. Sometimes the challenge involves tracking down all parties that need to be investigated and them available to complete the interview process and the worker gathering necessary documents. When this does not come together, this leaves the APS investigators making a disposition based on minimum evidence that typically end up being unfounded based on lack of evidence and time to gather all pertinent data/complete all interviews.
