Hello,
I am wondering if there are resources out there I could share with my local law enforcement community on trauma-informed interview techniques? The entire department has been trained in TIC and this request is an extension of that training.
Thanks in advance!

Kansas City PD is great resource - Darren Ivey- who has worked with local Mental Health Providers to also develop training on Building Resilience for Secondary Traumatic Stress.
Scott,
I am a retired Special Agent and now am a trainer and consultant around child maltreatment issues. I am also a trainer for the Child Welfare Trauma Toolkit. I have a training on conducting Trauma-Informed Child Maltreatment Investigations, which includes trauma-informed interviews of both children and adults. I can be reached at donnampence@gmail.com.

Hi, Just seeing this.
I train a Trauma-Informed Victim Interview for Law Enforcement around the country. Mentioned above is the Cambridge Police Department, I'm a part of the project as well. The interview process has been studied by Brigham Young University in Utah. Please, Google. I'm also available to chat via email or phone.
BEST Justin!!
