 I'm Margo Bennett, and I'm the Chief of Police for the University of California Police Department at Berkeley. When a survivor walks into a police department, they've made a pretty big decision to really talk about painful and hurtful things that have happened to them. The thing that I focus on in our department is that that survivor of violence is able to come in and trust that they're going to meet somebody and talk with somebody who's a police officer, who has a job to do, but who's also caring and compassionate about what the survivor has gone through. You know, I myself am a survivor of intimate partner violence. I know what it's like, I know the fear, I know how people walk in thinking it's my fault. I don't want to talk about this, and I know that police officers need to deal with that. And I believe we have police officers that can let somebody be afraid and feel safe in that environment. We have to be able to connect with the survivor, or we wind up re-traumatizing them all over again. Our goal is to help, not to hurt. Really it's all about making sure the survivor has the control to put their life back together.
