Model Policy, Concepts and Issues Paper, and Training Key on Law Enforcement Response to Victims of Crime

One of the most effective methods to implement change is incorporating the initiative into your policies and procedures. The Model Policy on Response to Victims of Crime, an accompanying Concepts & Issues Paper, as well as a Training Key for educational instruction are now available at no charge to law enforcement agencies. These documents will assist your department in the implementation of the Enhancing Law Enforcement Response to Victims Strategy. Integrating these documents can be a short-term goal that is created under the "Starting" section in Volume 2: Implementation Guide or a part of developing a detailed action plan in the "Implementation" section of Volume 2: Implementation Guide.

This essential function, performed by both sworn and civilian personnel, should address victims' needs by establishing a continuum of support as victims progress through the various phases of the criminal justice process.
