Community Response Training
Designed for a multidisciplinary audience of dispatchers, law enforcement, prosecutors, probation officers, judges, court administrators, advocates, batterers’ group facilitators, related human service providers, community leaders and activists. This 1 to 3 day training provides participants with an opportunity to broaden their understanding of the criminal justice Coordinated Community Response (CCR) model. Participants will learn:
Assumptions and principles that guide inter-agency interventions in these cases
Individual agency as well as collective goals, roles and tasks in a CCR
How to assess the effectiveness of current agency interventions
How to enhance responses through:
Inter-agency policy and procedural development
Inter-agency systems of accountability
Coordination of information gathering and dissemination
Case review and consultation
Individual and cross skills-based training program
We will plan the agenda carefully with you to provide the fundamentals of a CCR while offering specialized topics that fit your community, address local gaps in understanding and help your inter-agency team build a shared vision in the community.
Additional two to four-hour training sessions are available for specific disciplines, related to specific practices, such as: 911 calls and protocols which enhance investigative practices and safety; law enforcement report writing guidelines and review; prosecutorial practices which are not dependent on victim participation; pre-sentence investigations and recommendations; and others.
In order for organizers and participants to derive maximum benefit from the training, we suggest that other technical assistance options are also selected.
