EVAWI has created an exciting new program on Comprehensive Victim Interviews (CVI), which we plan to offer several times a year. This 2-day virtual training features veteran law enforcement investigators and other national experts, and it includes never-before-seen interviews with sexual assault victims conducted by skilled investigators.

With small group sizes and a high-performance technology platform, CVI participants will have plenty of opportunities to interact with the expert presenters, sharing concrete tips and tools, and networking with colleagues across the country and around the world. 

You won’t want to miss out on this unique opportunity to enhance your skills at effective victim interviewing! Register now to join us, either on June 29-30 or September 14-15.

Course Description

For victims who report sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, and other traumatic incidents, the purpose of an investigative interview is to help them:
 
  1. Retrieve details of the traumatic event from memory, and
  2. Disclose those details to the investigator. 

This is true regardless of whether the interview is conducted by law enforcement, Title IX investigators, Human Resources personnel, or others. Yet achieving this goal requires a great deal of work before, during, and after the interview.
Day 1 of this 2-day training program opens with an engaging interactive exercise based on a 911 call. After that, presenters will briefly review the scientific research on stress, trauma, and memory, as well as research on what works – and doesn’t – when it comes to effective interviews. This scientific and practical knowledge will then be applied to best practices for:  

  • Conducting an initial interview and preliminary investigation
  • Planning, preparing, and conducting an in-depth victim interview
  • Documenting victim statements and other investigative findings
  • Following up with additional interviews and an evolving investigation, and
  • Supporting best practices through bold and innovative leadership.
Day 2 features videotaped interviews with sexual assault victims conducted by expert law enforcement investigators following best practices, including accompaniment by a victim advocate. With dramatic twists and turns, these interviews demonstrate the transformative power of a good interview conducted by a skilled and compassionate investigator.
