Law enforcement personnel must be prepared to respond appropriately and supportively to persons who have experienced trauma. Victim-centered, trauma-informed approaches give law enforcement the necessary tools to provide this support. This publication, Identifying and Incorporating Core Principles of Victim-Centered and Trauma-Informed Response: Practices for Law Enforcement, provides a streamlined set of best practices from the field for first responders, evidence collection teams, investigators, supervisors, and agencies related to victim response efforts.
