Police officers at all 14 University of Texas campuses will soon be trained to follow new investigative protocols aimed at changing how campus law enforcement officers interview and support victims of sexual assault, the system announced today. A new 170-page manual, called "The Blueprint for Campus Police: Responding to Sexual Assault," instructs the system's 600 sworn police officers to replace "tradition with science" when investigating sexual violence. UT officials said they hope other colleges will also consider the manual's guidance and that it helps campuses "lead the nation in a culture shift."
