Training Overview
Securing qualified and suitable candidates for law enforcement-based victim services positions is an essential component of effective agency responses to victims and co-victims of crime. Victim services personnel’s assigned responsibilities often include direct service provision, advocacy on behalf of those served, collaboration with partner agencies and organizations, training development and provision, constitutional and statutory compliance, agency representation, operational oversight of victim services, and funding and budgetary management.
An equally essential component of effective agency responses is the ability to retain qualified and suitable personnel. Competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, a positive work environment, and professional development and growth are elements that contribute to personnel maintaining motivation for high-quality performance of assigned responsibilities.
