Law enforcement officers are usually first to arrive to the scene following an incident of mass violence and, therefore, often first to interact with victims and their families. That said, collaboration amongst professionals from a variety of fields and agencies is vital to ensure victims and their families receive the information and support they need. This training explains the important role of victim advocates, how law enforcement can incorporate victim advocates into mass violence response efforts, and the positive impact that victim advocate involvement can have on law enforcement as well as victims and their families.
