Incorporating Interns and Volunteers into Victim Services Unit Responsibilities

This event has passed.

Description

Interns and volunteers can positively contribute to law enforcement-based victim services. They can facilitate the expansion of services, be assigned responsibilities that would otherwise not be prioritized, and serve as effective representatives of victim services and the agencies they serve. Effective incorporation of these personnel relies on the assignment of suitable tasks, understanding of associated risks and liabilities, and active oversight that aligns with agency standards. Ensuring that intern and volunteer opportunities are meaningful for the individuals is also important. Interns and volunteers benefit from the reinforcement that their contributions and input are valued.
