The U.S. Department of Justice this fall will provide The National Institute on the Prosecution of Elder Abuse, a three-and-a-half-day course for prosecutors regarding their approach to prosecuting elder abuse cases. Participants will receive training on the dynamics of elder abuse, practical skills to successfully prosecute these cases and how to balance offender accountability with the impact of on victims. The event is open to prosecutors only, with preference given to agencies participating in the Office on Violence Against Women Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life Program (OVW). There is no fee for the institute, and limited scholarships for travel and lodging are available for prosecutors from communities not currently receiving an OVW grant. The application deadline is Oct. 21. If you need assistance completing the application form, contact Ann Laatsch at alaatsch@ncall.us.
