According to a prepared statement from the Casper Police Department, the training program utilizes real-worlfd examples and best practices on how bar and restaurant staff can help stop sexual assault situations.
In April and May of this year, three local establishments, including The Office Bar & Grill and Backwards Distilling Company, completed the training workshops.
“As a law enforcement agency, we often see the devastating impact of sexual assault after it has already taken place,” said Casper Police Detective Tiffany Elhart. “It is our goal to take the real-world knowledge we have learned through these investigations and find ways we can partner with our community to make a real impact in stopping sexual assault. Training staff at local bars and restaurants to not only spot the signs – but also feel comfortable doing something about it – is a very real way we can start putting a stop to this tragedy right here at home.”
