Hello,
There is a lot going on around the country in this regard. One of the outcomes of the US Attorney General's Defending Childhood Task Force was recognition of the important role police officers play in the lives of children exposed to violence. On the East Coast we are working with the Yale Child Study Center and International Association of Chiefs of Police providing training in various sites, which includes information about the ACES. Dr. Steven Berkowitz at U Penn (formerly at Yale) primarily developed that part of the curriculum. In Mecklenburg, we also provide trauma training within our 40-hour CIT training week. SAMHSA has a trauma training curriculum for criminal justice professionals. I've provided some links below. Contact me if I can help further.
Respectfully,
Sarah Greene, LCSW
