New York State Police plan to assign 12 senior investigators to help campus and local police statewide deal with college date rapes under the state's new consent law.
Superintendent Joseph D'Amico said that the new victims unit will also employ nurse examiners as consultants to ensure evidence is properly documented and collected and cases are promptly investigated, reported the Times Union. The senior investigators will provide training to local authorities about the law and investigative and interrogation methods, and interact with the colleges, it said.
