Further, the team would work together to <br />investigate, prosecute; and provide shelter, counseling and information to <br />assist the crime victims. In order to accomplish these goals the violent <br />crimes against women unit would work with the local media, neighborhood <br />crime watch committees, hold training sessions and work with local agencies <br />to produce positive results. <br /> <br />6.
