Tactical Training
Solve Your Most Challenging Cases – Everytime
Why is it so hard to hold offenders accoundable?
It’s because offenders use grooming tactics to control their victims’ silence. Grooming deliberately establishes an emotional connection with a child to extensively manipulate the child into sexual abuse. (E.g., “You tell anyone, I’ll kill you/myself/your family.” “No one will believe you; you’re just a kid.”) Perhaps an adult could rationally overcome such threats and seek help. Yet a child’s brain is not fully developed, and these threats are extremely traumatic to them—the resulting fear and shame mean children feel overwhelmingly trapped – like there’s no way out. They have no power.
Everything Depends Upon You - the Multidisciplinary Team
If a child does take the monumental step and asks you for help, you’re up against a seemingly impossible case. There’s usually no “hard” physical evidence, eyewitnesses, crime scene, confession, or offender cooperation. You’re left saying, “I believe you, but I can’t do anything. I’m so sorry.”
There is another way... Change the Game
Our nationally-renowned tactical training and technical assistance is a shift in mindset to find corroborative “soft” evidence in the seven stages of grooming. This squashes the predominant “delayed disclosure” and “he-said-she-said” defenses to secure a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

What Are People Saying
Testimonials from MDT Members
PROSECUTOR:
"This training provided a new way of looking at cases. I had detectives talk to me about cases we’re working on together, saying, ‘We can do this differently... We can add this... I can ask this question...’ We’re looking at future cases and cases we could have done better if we had this knowledge before. It was important for our multidisciplinary team to receive this training and to receive it together.”

“All the information was really important. It was like being hit in the face with a sledgehammer. [This training] made us realize that in cases, even ones where we were able to get an omission from the suspect, having the foundation of grooming that built up to the abuse would have solidified a case ten times more in front of a jury. If you can build a case with the steps of grooming [we learned here], a case would have a solid case for conviction even without an omission.”

“I learned that cases go beyond the incident of abuse. To understand the victim and the case, we must investigate, research, and understand everything that led to the first abuse incident, and all the way to the last incident before disclosure. Everyone involved in preventing child sexual abuse needs this training.”
