Training for our Partners in Law Enforcement, Child Protective Services, Victim Advocates and area CACs
With ever-changing protocols, education, and tactics needed for this difficult line of work, it is the goal of NETCAC to bring valuable, up-to-date training to professionals in law enforcement, child protective services, community response, mental health, and prosecutors to northeast Texas. We seek out experts in the fields of investigation, prosecution, and the legal community who provide the most current protocols, best practices, legal updates, and practical experience and offer them to our partner agencies several times per year. Most of our training events offer CEUs for those who require them and are conducted by leaders in their fields.
Some of our regular trainings include:
- Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Orientation and Training
- Sexual Assault Family Violence Investigator Course (SAFVIC)
- Legal Updates (offered every two years)
- Annual 2-Day East Texas Crimes Against Children Conference
Most of our trainings provide Continuing Education credits for TCOLE licensing and certifications (self-reported).
If there is a training topic your agency needs, please contact us. We will work to coordinate with facilitators to provide a training specific to your agency needs at a nearby location. Contact Estera Trifan for more information.
