Collaborating with Law Enforcement, Improving Survivor Response
OAESV works with law enforcement officials in communities across Ohio to improve the response to sexual assault, help protect communities, and help to hold offenders accountable. If you are a law enforcement official who is interested in training or technical assistance related to trauma, response, or SARTs, please contact our Coordinator of Community Responses, Nicole Kass-Colvin, at ncolvin@oaesv.org.
