WHY?
Law enforcement on every level needs a better and more comprehensive understanding of victims and how to interact with them.
This is why SCARS, with the help of the United States Department of Homeland Security, distributes the SCARS Interacting with Scam Victims for Law Enforcement Officers Guide (click here to read).
Too many victims, especially of scams feel that they are not listened to by law enforcement. Too often this leads to a difficult experience when trying to report scams. But every effort at improving the understanding of police is a step in the right direction.

This is a timely report – I interviewed Greta McClain on Stand Up & Speak Up and when she was on active duty with the Nashville Metro Police Department working in the Sexual Assault Division, she said there was NO trauma-informed advocacy or interviewing. Good to see the tide is changing for the good of the victim/survivor and law enforcement.
