Incorporating law enforcement-based victim services can help promote victim-centered, trauma-informed practices throughout the agency and the community it serves. Victim services personnel can provide a wide range of services that align with the responsibilities of sworn personnel. Collaborative responses can encourage ongoing engagement of victims and co-victims and help them navigate multiple complex systems to meet their needs.

Information from this webinar can help participants assess the impact of agency practices on victims and co-victims in the following areas:

• Victims’ rights
• Initial contact
• Investigative interviews and actions
• Records, documentation, and case status
• Media involvement
