The program will be rolled out in April at Parkland Health for a trial period. Police hope to eventually expand to other hospitals that conduct Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations.
Police officials told the City Council’s public safety committee on Monday about their intention to begin offering the new option in April at Parkland Health. They hope to eventually expand to other hospitals that conduct Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations. The idea, hospital and police officials said, expedites the time it takes police to generate a report for a victim so nurses can then do the sexual assault exam.
“The more that this department can show that we’re really invested in ensuring that our survivors get the assistance that they need as quickly as possible, the better outcome we will have in these cases,” Shead said.
