COURSE OVERVIEW: The course will focus on response and investigation of sexual assault. The training will address trauma and the neurobiology of the brain. Rape myths surrounding sexual assault cases will be discussed and addressed. There will be a focus on what it means to be victim centered and trauma informed and how to conduct trauma informed interviews with victims. The training will also address defendant interviews and considerations when dealing with offenders charged with sex crimes and considerations in report writing. Investigation tips as to hospital protocol and the role of rape advocates will also be addressed. Social media and evidence gathering from the internet will be discussed. The training will stress the importance of being trauma informed, and victims centered to avoid re-traumatization of the victim.
COURSE GOALS: To educate investigators as to the complexities of sexual assault investigations, including: misperceptions about sexual assault victims & offenders which may make victims reluctant to report the crime; how trauma impacts the manner in which victims are able to report; how best to support sexual assault victims during their encounter with law enforcement & the criminal justice system; how to focus on offender behaviors & hold offenders accountable. This training focuses on conducting trauma informed, victim sensitive interviews, effective techniques for officer interviews, report writing, investigating digital & social medica platforms & a more in-depth look at the neurobiology of the brain that helps explain how trauma effects memory.
