Acknowledging Law Enforcement Trauma to Help Sexual Assault Survivors: A Tool Kit for Implementation
The City of Cambridge’s Police Department and Domestic Violence Prevention Initiative, in close collaboration with local service providers, have created and implemented a Trauma Informed Law Enforcement (TILE) Initiative, including a model 3 day training, and changes to practice and protocol.
Speakers:

Self-Care is NOT Selfish: Creative Tools for Transforming Compassion Fatigue
There is now over two decades of research proving that working in high stress, trauma-exposed professions such as sexual assault, domestic violence, and law enforcement, carries elements of risk to the staff. Using the most recent research in the field, this interactive, evidence-based, and trauma-informed presentation will explore assumptions about compassion fatigue, secondary trauma and burnout, the organizational and personal barriers that professionals face in their daily lives and offer new creative approaches, resources and hands-on tools for maintaining healthy and resilient staff.
Speakers:

“It’s Not That Complicated” – Building Relationships with LGBTQ+ Communities to Help End Gender Bias
This session will provide law enforcement and victim service providers with an opportunity to explore information about the LGBTQ+ communities they serve, provide techniques to improve and enhance their response to this diverse community, and examine ways in which developing a respectful engagement with this community can assist agencies in the overall goal of reducing gender bias in policing. Officers will be challenged to open up to new thinking, new insights, and new ways of doing police work, which includes an understanding on how past practices damaged relations with this community. Participants will receive a compendium of tools and resources adopted by various departments and victim advocates from across the country which have encouraged a healthy, strong relationship between law enforcement and the LGBTQ+ communities they serve.
Speakers:

Why Should I Let Researchers on My Team? Ways to Leverage Practitioner-Researcher Partnerships
By walking through real examples of research-practitioner projects, the presenters will discuss how the projects were conducted, how to tap into wider audiences, and how to communicate findings in meaningful ways to your audiences, including policymakers and institutional leadership. By choosing researchers from disciplines who add value to your work, together you can both make meaningful and strategic contributions to our understanding and response to gender-based violence and gain valuable insights for your team as well.
Speakers:

Is Forensic Compliance Working? Lessons Learned from the Colorado Evaluation Project
The efficacy of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) forensic compliance provisions have not been systematically evaluated since the inception of the laws in 2005 and 2013. Data on how forensic compliance is being implemented, why survivors are choosing certain reporting options, and what actually happens to cases when a survivor decides at a later time to engage with a law enforcement investigation is a largely unknown landscape.
Speakers:

Taking Guns Away From Domestic Violence Offenders, and Keeping Them Away
The overwhelming majority of those who serve in the noble profession of law enforcement are professionals who uphold their oath of office. However, we cannot ignore the numerous headlines, arrests, convictions, and lawsuits describing horrific acts of sexual misconduct perpetrated by law enforcement officers. When a predatory sexual offender has the power and authority of the police, this creates an extremely serious breach of the ethics of the profession, a violation of the color of law, and a traumatic victimization of a colleague or citizen whom law enforcement has sworn to protect.
Speakers:

Domestic and Sexual Violence: Trauma Informed Victim Contact and Interviewing
You’ve learned about trauma and its effects, now what? How do you translate that knowledge into outcomes for victims, achieve justice and be trauma-informed, and work with victims who need help but refuse to cooperate with law enforcement? How do you get victims to share their stories so the legal system can begin getting them justice – whether through a criminal conviction or a protective order?
Speakers:
