Training Guides Patrol Officers in Trauma-Informed Approach
This short, high-impact web-based training can be used in group roll-call situations at law enforcement agencies or viewed by patrol officers on their own. The module uses video interviews with a police captain, a state attorney, a trauma expert, and a patient representative to deliver its core message about the effects of trauma and encourage officers to adopt trauma-informed approaches when working with sexual assault survivors. It also includes a practice scenario in which officers are presented with multiple-choice options for how to respond to a "victim" at various points in the law enforcement interview.
