This webinar will highlight the importance of conducting a victim-centered, trauma-informed investigative interview for sexual assault cases. Trauma-informed investigative interviews lay the foundation for improved victim engagement with the criminal justice system and increased ability to resolve sexual assault cases.

This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on April 26, 2022

The Phoenix Police Department (PPD) made a department-wide cultural change in evidence handling, screening, and processing strategies in support of Crime Gun Intelligence Center goals. In addition, the Firearms Section of the PPD Crime Laboratory has validated and implemented a 3D topographical Virtual Comparison Microscopy (VCM) system. The presenters will discuss how the addition of 3D VCM technology in the laboratory and the incorporation of 3D technologies into the NIBIN system has bolstered their ability to provide the best results possible to our customers.
