What to do next

Because APS is organized as five statewide regional teams rather than by county, families searching for a 'Marion County APS number' or a 'Hamilton County APS number' will not find one -- and that is expected, not a gap in this site's research. The same statewide line and online form route every report, regardless of which of the six counties this site covers the situation occurred in. Reports can be made anonymously, and Indiana law does not require you to have proof, only a good-faith suspicion, before reporting.
