Training for our Partners in Law Enforcement, Child Protective Services, Victim Advocates and area CACs
With ever-changing protocols, education, and tactics needed for this difficult line of work, it is the goal of NETCAC to bring valuable, up-to-date training to professionals in law enforcement, child protective services, community response, mental health, and prosecutors to northeast Texas. We seek out experts in the fields of investigation, prosecution, and the legal community who provide the most current protocols, best practices, legal updates, and practical experience and offer them to our partner agencies several times per year. Most of our training events offer CEUs for those who require them and are conducted by leaders in their fields.
Some of our regular trainings include:
- Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Orientation and Training
- Sexual Assault Family Violence Investigator Course (SAFVIC)
- Legal Updates (offered every two years)
- Annual 2-Day East Texas Crimes Against Children Conference
Most of our trainings provide Continuing Education credits for TCOLE licensing and certifications (self-reported).
If there is a training topic your agency needs, please contact us. We will work to coordinate with facilitators to provide a training specific to your agency needs at a nearby location. Contact Jennifer Williams for more information.

Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Who Have Experienced Trauma - In the US, an estimated one in six children has a developmental disorder, including intellectual disability, autism, and other genetic and brain-based conditions. Children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience traumatic events at a rate that is at least equal to their typically developing peers and are at increased risk for some types of traumatic events, with serious negative impacts.
Transforming Trauma in LGBTQ+ Youth - This series offers concrete strategies and recommendations for providers working with LGBTQ youth who have experienced trauma, including how to increase access to services, create a safe environment for care, and work with families and schools.
