Victim Communication and Interviews Sample Clauses

Victim Communication and Interviews. Consistent with trauma-informed interview and investigatory practices, Parties will develop materials to inform the victim of his or her rights and options in both the short- and long-term, provide access to any necessary health or safety resources and encourage the victim to engage with the SFSU PD personnel, the SFPD, the SFDA Victim Services Division (VSD), the SFDPH and privileged counseling services. During COVID-19 health crisis, materials will be provided to victims via email and mail. In general during the COVID-19 health crisis, interviews will take place through video format unless unusual or dire circumstances require a different format. As conditions related to COVID-19 change, the process may change as well. The SFSU PD will not discourage (or, alternatively, require) the victim from making a Title IX or criminal complaint. Similarly, under no circumstances will the SFPD directly or indirectly discourage (or, alternatively, require) the victim from pursuing criminal charges or campus disciplinary action.
