- Summary
-
Sexual assault is one of the most offensive crimes committed in our society. Not only is it a threat to the community, but may also physically and psycho-logically affect the victim in many ways. The emotional trauma of being sexually assaulted may differ from victimization in other forms. The personal nature of this act makes it even more critical that responding officers possess the skills and sensitivity necessary to provide the victim with the support he/she needs. This guideline document has been recently updated to incorporate changes in the law and changes in investigative procedure. Guidelines are presented in a format that will allow the reader to follow a step-by-step process for conducting a sexual assault investigation. POST encourages the sharing of this information with all law enforcement personnel who may serve as the liaison between the sexual assault victim and the criminal justice system
