Ride Along Program In 1996, SWC began an innovative program with the Martinsburg Police Department to better meet the needs of victim of domestic and sexual violence. Trained volunteers and staff ride with officers and respond to the needs of victims once the scene is secured by the police officer. This program also provides an opportunity to communicate with officers regarding SWC policies and procedures when working with victims, as well as enabling staff to learn from officers their concerns about responding to domestic violence calls. This program became known as the Ride-Along Program, or RAP. In 1998, SWC expanded the RAP to the Shepherdstown and Ranson police departments. If you would like to learn more about this program, or if you would like to volunteer to Ride-Along Please contact SWC at 263-8522. |
