Training is held in Huntsville, Alabama at the National Children's Advocacy Center's Training Center. Please visit the site for posted educational and training opportunities available.
Law enforcement professionals should be aware of what child victims are going through and to be sensitive to meeting their needs. This insures that victimized children will not experience further suffering brought about by untrained and unexperienced professionals.
To acquire these skills, law enforcement may need training with other professionals who can explain the psychological and sociological implications that occur once an individual has been courageous enough to share their abuse. Sensitivity and understanding of cultural stereotyping is vital to insure that victims of sexual assault receive the best care possible.
Law enforcement professionals can obtain this training through GNESA's Law Enforcement Training , which focuses on effective methods of meeting the needs of sexual assault victims. Attendees receive eight credit hours for this course which is approved by the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training. The course concentrates on sexual violence crimes with sections specifically related to Georgia's sex offense statutes, Rape Trauma Syndrome, crime scene preservation, evidence collection, and interview techniques.
If you have a need for the Law Enforcement Training, contact the GNESA office at 404-815-5261.
Law Enforcement and SARTs
Law enforcement is most effective when working from the Sexual Assault Response Team model. GNESA's law enforcement training incorporates the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) approach to police investigation which enhances the role of law enforcement, the medical community, prosecutors, and judges by providing an opportunity for communication and information sharing that does not usually take place during crime investigations. As a result, team members are better able to handle sexual assault cases, and interact with victims, because of their increased training and knowledge about each agency's role. Establishing an accurate data system with statistics of Thomasville/Thomas County would provide a beneficial source of information of the past, present, and the future crimes committed against children in our community.
Children Are 100% of Georgia's Future!
