INDIANAPOLIS — The Director at the Indiana Department of Child Services is taking a leave of absence.
In a statement on his Facebook page, Adam Krupp said he's currently on medical leave and that "DCS is in excellent hands during my absence."
Krupp was appointed by Governor Mike Braun a year ago.
Krupp's leave of absence is not related to discipline, according to the State Personnel Department.
"Adam Krupp has no discipline in his file and this leave of absence is not related to discipline," the department said in a statement.
Krupp oversees a state agency tasked with investigating child abuse and neglect throughout Indiana.
WRTV has received inquiries from DCS employees and members of the public asking about Krupp's status with the agency.
