Passaic Prosecutor's Office

The Special Victim’s Unit responds to and investigates sexual offenses against children, serious physical abuse of children, and incidents of sexual assault against adults that qualify for the activation of the Passaic County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART).  The SVU is also responsible for the registration of sex offenders pursuant to Megan’s Law, along with the required notifications to local departments and the community.  Additionally, adjacent to the SVU, specially trained staff members operate the Passaic County Child Advocacy Center (CAC), which provides a child safe environment for the treatment and interviews of children who have been the victims of abuse.  The CAC utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to not only investigate allegations of child abuse, but to provide the appropriate services to victims and their families.  Additionally, team members in SVU lead the Passaic County Child Abduction Response Team (CART).
