La. Child. Code art. 501
Legislative findings
The legislature finds that the use of a multidisciplinary investigative team response to the investigation and disposition of allegations of child sex abuse or allegations of other serious physical abuse and the use of child advocacy centers will encourage agency cooperation, expedite the resolution of allegations, minimize the trauma to children and their families, and otherwise serve the best interests of the children of Louisiana. In accordance with Article V, Section 27 of the Constitution of Louisiana, nothing in this Title will in any way preclude the sheriff, as the chief law enforcement officer of the parish, from taking any action deemed necessary in cases of alleged child abuse or neglect.
