ABOUT THE COURSE:
Course material will make evident that when law enforcement incorporate trauma-informed core
principles and strategies into investigations, these principles and strategies can become

increasing cooperation between sexual assault victims and law enforcement.
The course introduces learners to trauma-informed approaches and attributes, creating a
broader awareness of the importance and nuances of trauma-informed responsive policing in
service to building trust in victims — including in marginalized communities — and increasing
sexual assault prosecution and convictions.
This course integrates adult learning principles with participatory leadership values and
strategies to build upon the expertise of the professional-level participants while modeling
engagement strategies.
