d.  Program Summary & Objectives:  More than once a minute, 78 times an hour, or 1,871 times a day, someone in the United States is a victim of sexual assault.  Many of those assaults are drug-facilitated.  Intoxication or being under the influence of another drug does not constitute consent and far too often, a person will wake up in an unknown place and not know what happened or only have partial memory.  Investigators need to know how to recognize the signs of a drugged person who may have been sexually assaulted and know what to do next.  During this hour-long broadcast, learn how to identify if someone has been drugged.  Also, find out how to begin an investigation and why timing is critical.  See how you might be able to prevent an assault from happening in the first place.  Learn how many prescription and over-the-counter medications react negatively with alcohol, and may cause severe impairment.  

Learning Objectives: 

-          Gain an awareness of the magnitude and issues surrounding drug-facilitated sexual assault
-          Learn which drugs and strategies are often used for drug-facilitated sexual assault
-          See what first steps should be if a victim reports a drug-facilitated sexual assault
-          Find out why drug-facilitated sexual assault cases are often difficult to prosecute and how law enforcement officers can work to make it a little easier
