If any human object appears in the Monster World, they arrive to destroy it using a metal dome that will cause whatever that's placed under it to explode harmlessly and decontaminate any who come in contact with such objects. Their decontamination methods are often painful: Anyone who has been decontaminated by the CDA will be forced to wear a plastic cone over their heads like a pet who has been given surgery and is not allowed to lick the wounds (such as the "Cone of Shame" in ''Up'').

“"Oh, not the CDA."”
―Mr. Waternoose
“"Careful, could be contaminated."”
―Anonymous CDA operative

The Child Detection Agency (or CDA for short) is a group of monsters who once worked to ensure that children were kept inside their doors and outside of the monster world.

Bio

The CDA deployed in full force when all of Monstropolis became aware of the incidents of Boo's invasion into the Monster World, and the Monsters, Inc. facility was thoroughly searched for evidence. Upon learning that Mike Wazowski and Sulley are the ones who have brought Boo in, Mr. Waternoose tried to have the CDA arrest Mike and Sulley so that he could take Boo and forcefully extract screams from her, but they ultimately turned on him and arrested him when they learned that Waternoose would kidnap thousands of children to satisfy his own agenda.

When Sulley discovered that laugh is more powerful than scream and children actually were not dangerous, the Child Detection Agency was replaced with the Comedy Detection Agency. Their job also changed to solving if a joke is funny or not.

Description

Their uniforms are seen in multiple different sizes and correspond to the size of the monster. They are big yellow suits that have three red lights on their fronts, as well as an identification number. They wear metallic gloves and shoes, and have a large vacuum-like decontamination device on their backs. The location of each characteristic depends on the type of suit.
