Crisis center director says UNL police isolated
By Erin Gibson
Senior Reporter
The University Police Department needs
more training to handle cases of domestic vio
lence and sexual assault, a forum participant told
the Police Advisory Committee Tuesday.
Marcee Metzger, director of the Rape/
Spouse Abuse Crisis Center, told committee
members at an open meeting that university
police are too isolated from the community in
dealing with assault.
Domestic violence on the campus and in
Lincoln is increasing, she said, and victims re
port crimes more often than before.
But the UNL police department receives few
such reports, she said. According to the depart
ment, two rapes were reported on campus last
year.
“I don’t think the numbers reported to the
UNL police department are reflective of what’s
going on in the community,” Metzger said.
The campus police do a good job of com
munity-based policing, she said, but officers
need extra training to effectively deal with the
sensitive area of domestic and sexual assault.
UNL Police Chief Ken Cauble said two
members of his department — the victim ser
vices coordinator and a sergeant — will attend
a course this June that will further train them to
handle cases of domestic violence and sexual
_i
assault.
The course also will certify the officers as
instructors capable of training others in handling
such cases. They will then train other univer
sity police officers, Cauble said.
Metzger said university police officers also
should work to communicate more effectively
with victim-advocacy committees in Lincoln
and Lancaster County.
“(UNL police) don’t always have the best
information because they’re isolated,” she said.
Such communication could improve how the
department hears about unreported assaults and
could help the department better meet the needs
of victims, Metzger said.
Cauble said the victim services coordinator
attends community Domestic Violence Coali
tion meetings for this purpose, but she was open
to other means of improving communication.
Judith Kriss, director of UNL’s Women’s
Center, said the Rape/Spouse Abuse Crisis Cen
ter does not currently refer university victims
to the university’s victim counseling services.
Dave Morgan, advisory committee member,
said the university may need a 24-hour crisis
line to better publicize its services to meet the
university’s need and increase the percentage
of assaults reported.
Those at the meeting agreed that the univer
sity may be better equipped now to handle fol
low-up care for victims than to provide after
hours crisis counseling.
