In July of 2020, we conducted a gap analysis to help the Cleveland Homicide Review Commission and its Service Provider Review improve the services
provided to victims and witnesses throughout (and beyond) homicide cases. We released a corresponding report, the Northern Ohio Violent Crime Consortium
report. One significant finding in the report is that there exists a lack of funding for relocating crime victims and witnesses, which lead to this brief.

This training initially was developed for the Ohio-N PSN site who was experiencing issues with victim and witness intimidation. This training provided law enforcement with an overview of victim-witness intimidation and provide a victim-centered approach to interviewing and responding to witnesses. Through conversation with other sites, hearing their issues with victim/witness intimidation, NCVC decided to conduct a national training on Trauma-Informed Law Enforcement Strategies for Combating Victim, Witness, and Community Intimidation and Retaliation.
