During this webinar, we cover PREA Standard 115.64 Staff first responder duties. The purpose of this standard is:

• To ensure that the first security staff member to respond to an allegation or report of sexual abuse will address the victims’ immediate safety and maintain security and control over the crime scene so that any physical evidence is preserved until an investigator arrives. Investigators will then have access to evidence that has not been accidentally or negligently compromised or destroyed, which will safeguard the quality of the investigation.
