Building Relationships: Working with NGOs and Applying Trauma-Informed Practices in Your Work with Immigrant Survivors. (Part 2 of 2)

In this episode, Leslye Orloff, Director of NIWAP at the American University Washington College of Law, Sergeant Inspector Tony Flores from the San Francisco Police Department, Officer Irene Lee Klein from the West Hartford Police Department, and Sharla Jackson from the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia continue the discussion by talking about how law enforcement agencies can obtain, use, and disseminate information and tools (such as the Department of Homeland Security’s Blue Shield campaign) that describe the various forms of immigration relief available to victims of crime. They discuss accessibility issues and how a lack of accessibility can be a problem in serving victims. The podcast then touches upon how T and U visas are used as tools to build relationships with the community and how victims’ requests for police reports are handled. The discussion ends with the guests offering tips on how relationships in communities can be built to serve victims better and the resources NIWAP’s library has available on this topic.
