The resources listed below are general materials for sexual and domestic violence programs seeking information about policies and procedures. This page includes links to various websites and documents that may be useful to sexual and domestic violence agencies who are working toward meeting the Professional Standards. Users are advised that these documents and websites are for informational purposes only and that the information and opinions presented within each are the responsibility of the authors and do not represent official positions or policies of the Department of Criminal Justice Services.
The Professional Standards Team does not provide templates for required policies or procedures. This allows each organization to create documents that meet its own specific needs, while avoiding potential legal issues that can be caused when using generic documents. In addition, this will help prevent organizations from using outdated forms.
Note: The resources included in each subsection are by no means all-inclusive.
