The Special Support Enforcement Unit is managed under a contract with the State of Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS), Child Support Division. The unit is dedicated solely to provide the following services:

  1. The service of civil process associated with the issuance of court mandated child support.
  2. The service of civil contempt warrants issued for non-compliance with court ordered child support.
  3. Financial investigations designed to assist the Washington State DSHS, Office of Support Enforcement and the Family Support Division of the King County Prosecutor’s Office.

Currently, the SSEU consists of four detectives, one administrative specialist and one half-time sergeant. The unit has had outstanding success in tracking down parents who are delinquent on support payments.
