STOP Violence Against Women:

            The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, in cooperation with Call RAPE Inc., is working under a federal grant to STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

            This "Partnership in Prevention" focuses on the issues of rape, sexual violence, and domestic violence occurring in Tulsa County and how women can combat the problems facing them and their community.

            The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office has two deputies working with Call Rape Inc., presenting programs and workshops to area groups dealing with all aspects of rape, sexual violence and domestic violence.  Topics range from preventing attacks to victim's rights, victim advocacy, support groups, the role of the Sheriff's Office in investigating crimes and the role they play in aiding the District Attorney in prosecuting criminal offenders, as well as the District Attorney's Victim Witness Center and the Victim Information & Notification Everyday (V.I.N.E.) system created for the citizens of Tulsa County.  These deputies provide education as well as active participation with Tulsa County families.
