What is the role of the Rape Crisis
Program's Law Enforcement Liaison?

against their offenders.

decision about whether or not to pursue criminal charges, based
upon your personal feelings and your individual situation |

stages of the police investigation |

timely communication with the detective who is investigating
your case |

police procedures such as the polygraph, voice stress analyzer,
etc. |
| explaining the phases of the
criminal justice process (from preliminary hearing through grand
jury, trial, sentencing, post-sentencing hearings, and parole

process |
