Adult Protective Services
In 1985, Adult Protective Services (APS) units were established throughout Indiana to investigate reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation and to assist in obtaining services for endangered adults. An "endangered adult" is defined by Indiana Statute as any individual over 18 years of age who is incapable by reason of mental infirmity or other incapacity of either caring for themselves or managing their property, or have been harmed or threatened with harm as a result of neglect, battery, or exploitation.

The Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office APS Unit serves Vanderburgh, Perry, Spencer, Warrick, Posey, and Gibson counties. The unit is headed by Gayle Angle and has two investigators and a secretary. They can be reached at 812-435-5190.
