What We'll Discuss in This Session

When law enforcement opens a new case file, the information flow that follows shapes a survivor's experience with the justice system. Life after an incident means balancing personal safety and daily priorities with an unpredictable legal timeline. How the individual is supported can fundamentally change the dynamic for everyone involved.

Led by a panel of survivor advocates and public safety leaders, this open, peer-to-peer discussion on the survivor experience in the context of the law enforcement case investigation will also provide insight into: 

  1. Firsthand experiences and perspectives on what victims truly experience and need during an active investigation

  2. The realities of balancing statewide victims’ rights statutes against heavy detective caseloads

  3. Real-world approaches to removing bottlenecks so vulnerable populations don't fall through the cracks
