More Than Just a Kit
This specialized workshop addresses the critical phase of victim communication following sexual assault kit evidence processing. Drawing from extensive experience in special victims investigations, Detective McNeil (Ret.) provides law enforcement personnel, investigators, and legal professionals with advanced techniques for conducting trauma-informed victim interviews and notifications.
A key focus is placed on the essential pre-contact case preparation phase. Participants will learn the importance of thoroughly reviewing case files, understanding the victim's initial statement, and analyzing forensic results before making any victim contact. This preparation ensures more productive, trauma-informed interactions and demonstrates respect for the survivor's experience.
