Our Major Unusual Incident (MUI) Investigative Agents receive all reports of abuse, neglect, misappropriation, or any other MUI, as defined in state law and County Board Policy. They investigate these incidents to ensure the health and safety of the affected individual is protected. All MUIs are also reported to the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. MUI Investigative Agents work cooperatively with Service and Support Staff, Allen County Children Services, and Law Enforcement agencies to ensure that incidents are investigated per Ohio law.
For more information about MUI investigations and Ohio guidelines, please visit the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
