I don't have the specific feedback, but from my perspective it was highly valuable. The NIS welcomed the comments. The victim advocates also help us understand things from a victim's perspective. They certainly provide an understanding of how a victim feels and some of the needs of a victim. They certainly also help with trauma-informed interviewing and how to interview victims from a trauma perspective.
Certainly, as we move the victim services program forward with a new coordinator and manager, who has been hired and will start next week, I certainly would look at consulting externally with SMRC or other organizations to really integrate best practices into our program.
