Two officers through Byrne and one officer through Safe and Drug Free Schools, bringing the total of PRO s in WV to 18. It was a forty-hour training on child advocacy, increasing your causative powers, implementation of the program, and juvenile crime and statistics. The training was followed up by an additional sixteen hour Conflict Resolution Training provided by the National Center on Conflict Resolution Education. We continue to critique, analyze, and improve the program. The Division of Criminal Justice Services and the Governor s Committee on Crime, Delinquency and Corrections goal is to train every officer in WV a schools on this program.
Officers know how to be WV police officers.
However, most need to learn how to also be child advocates and to aid in the prevention of juvenile crime. Our goal is to provide the training and technical assistance they need to better serve the youth of our communities. WV Div. of Criminal Justice Services.
