The Austin Public Safety Commission recently discussed strategies to enhance the city's response to sexual assault. Key agencies, such as the Austin Police Department and the Travis County District Attorney's Office, provided data, leading to a recommendation for quarterly reporting on sexual assault data. This marks a shift towards a systematic approach to addressing the issue, fostering collaboration among involved entities. Notably, the Austin-Travis County Sexual Assault Response and Resource Team has resumed its role, which advocates emphasize is critical for accountability and transparency. Survivors have prioritized data accessibility as essential in rebuilding trust within the community.
Members took several small but hard-fought steps to improve Austin's response to sexual assault, emphasizing transparency and collaboration among key organizations.
This collaboration on publicly accessible data represents an ongoing shift toward a more system-oriented approach to reforming Austin's sexual assault response systems.
