Abstract: The Office on Violence Against Women Demonstration Program on Trauma-informed, Victim-centered Training for Law Enforcement on Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking (Abby Honold Program) is authorized by 34 U.S.C §?12513. The program supports efforts to improve law enforcement's response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking by awarding grants to law enforcement agencies to train officers to conduct trauma-informed and victim-centered investigations. The planned information collection is a short survey about law enforcement officers' knowledge and skills. Grantees under the Abby Honold Program will be expected to offer the survey to training participants to take before and after training as a way to gauge whether, and the extent to which, the training increases participants' knowledge and skills related to conducting trauma-informed and victim centered investigations.
