CASPER, Wy. — Fewer than two months after the Casper Police Department’s former victim services coordinator was sentenced to prison for rape, the agency received a grant to enhance its response to victims.
The organization was chosen as one of three nationally to implement a strategy shown to improve law enforcement’s victim services.
The three-year $300,000 grant funded by the U.S. Department of Justice will allow local police to change their existing victim services practices by participating in more training and educational opportunities.
