Description:

The purpose of the Program is to maintain a comprehensive, coordinated, community response that is victim/survivor-centered, enhance victim/survivor safety (regardless of whether or not they report the crime to law enforcement or other investigatory bodies and regardless of whether or not they choose to participate in an investigation), provide confidential services to sexual assault victims/survivors, hold offenders accountable, and include comprehensive outreach activities at institutions of higher education.

This will be accomplished by maintaining a Sexual Assault Counselor from a local Cal OES-funded Rape Crisis Center on campus, promoting the availability of the services, a joint Police/Sexual Assault Counselor response to reported incidents of sexual assault, and training for Police/Safety Officers, campus investigatory personnel, staff, and faculty.
