 Sexual Assault: The Patrol Response
   
  CPT Credit: 6 Hours

Description: Students go on three calls, starting with the call from dispatch through interviewing the victim and determining charges. The student must gather information, collect evidence, determine appropriate charges, and do all this by establishing the victim’s trust. One can go on a call as many times as desired.

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

Calls: There are three calls, "3938 Stonebrook Way," "4479 Del Ray," "4849 Sunset Drive."

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