Increased educational programs and training focusing on sexual assault and domestic violence prevention will further ensure the safety of students and community members on Triton College’s campus. Triton was recently awarded a $300,000 grant from the United States Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) to implement the new programs in partnership with the River Grove Police Department and Oak-Park-based Sarah’s Inn, a domestic violence resource center. Grant funds will support the newly formed Triton College Coordinated Community Response Team (TCCRT), which will implement a mandatory sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking prevention program for all incoming Triton students. Increased training will also be offered to River Grove and Triton College law enforcement personnel as well as other campus employees to help them more effectively respond to sexual assault and domestic-violence-related incidents. Additionally, survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence will have 24-hour accessibility to confidential victim services and advocacy offered through Sarah’s Inn. The Department of Justice received 106 applications for OWV grants requesting over $34 million. Triton was one of only 53 projects selected for funding.
