*In order to attend this course, Investigators must have already completed prior on-line ILETSB board-certified training in Sexual Assault Trauma-Informed Response.*
The goal of this training is to educate investigators as to the complexities of sexual assault investigations, including: misperceptions about sexual assault victims and 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 and the criminal justice system; and how to focus on offender behaviors and hold offenders accountable.
This training focuses on conducting trauma informed, victim sensitive interviews, effective techniques for offender interviews, investigating digital and social media platforms and a more in depth look at the neuro-biology of the brain that helps explain how trauma effects memory.
