Duty Trumps Doubt™

Changing perspectives since 2009 

Both in-person and virtual presentations are now available.

Being revictimized can be more damaging than the attack itself.  

Duty Trumps Doubt™ changes perspectives through our trauma-informed video and survivor-led presentations specifically designed to help law enforcement, medical personnel, legal professionals and society have a better understanding about the devastating effects sexual crimes have on victims. 

“It is an excellent encapsulation of the importance of believing victims and treating them with dignity and respect, regardless of how they present themselves after the crime. I believe that all first responders should be trained on the effects of trauma on individuals, and this video is a great tool toward that education.”
— Ruth A. Reynolds, Director of Advocacy VIBS Family Violence and Rape Crisis Center Holbrook, NY 

This 30-90 minute presentation will cover:  

  • Firsthand survivor stories & experiences

  • Awareness of the trauma a victim has experienced 

  • Techniques on ways to approach and speak to a victim 

  • The diversity of circumstances and situations in which these crimes occur 

  • The importance of words, body language and empathy when addressing a victim

 

Duty Trumps Doubt received a CINE Golden Eagle Award. Watch this acclaimed video now.

 

Knowledge is power.

Survivors play a pivotal role in the education concerning sexual crimes by sharing their personal experiences, which is vital to preventing revictimization.

“This training is right on point. How we initially conduct business as a police officer and as a person will have a lasting effect on the victim, on the crime scene, the prosecution and ultimately on the perception of the police. The video provides a very important message that we can all learn from even after being involved in the law enforcement profession for over 35 years.”
— Jim Peschong, Asst. Chief of Police, Lincoln, Nebraska

Every victim should be treated with dignity and respect.

The way a person acts toward someone who has been a victim of a sexual crime has a profound impact on the victim, the case and the outcome.
