Protocols
Many communities choose to develop protocols as part of their DEC program. Such protocols outline the roles and responsibilities of each participating agency in the event that children are discovered in a home where drugs are used or manufactured.

Shawnee County and Geary County have adopted expanded protocols that apply to children living in any type of drug environment, not solely methamphetamine labs.
