 Domestic Violence: It’s Your CallTM
  Volume 2
 

CPT Credit: 6 Hours

Description: Students go on three calls, starting with the call from dispatch through completing a report and submitting it for review. Using a form of "virtual reality," students look for evidence, interview the parties, and take photographs. A student’s performance is evaluated by the actions taken at the scene and by how well the report helped make the case. One can go on a call as many times as desired.

Organization
Orientation: New users learn how to move through the "virtual reality" environment, gather evidence, interview the parties, and complete the report. All students should complete the orientation before going on the first call.

Calls: There are three calls, "450 Waterford," "254 Chestnut," and "217 Glide Ave."

Learning Points: "Strangulation" explores the signs, symptoms, anatomy, and investigation of strangulation incidents. This segment by itself may be appropriate for roll-call training.

Scoring
A student’s performance is evaluated in three areas: Evidence Collection, Statement Collection, and Arrest/Actions. The passing score in each area is 50%. These results are viewed only by the student. When all calls have been successfully completed and the learning point is viewed, a "pass" is sent to Manager’s Edge.TM

Features
Penal Code: The student has access to the Penal Code sections dealing with domestic violence and related crimes.

Help: Provides detailed instructions on what to do when in a particular section of the scenario.
