    Abstract: The Office on Violence Against Women Demonstration 
Program on Trauma-informed, Victim-centered Training for Law 
Enforcement on Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and 
Stalking (Abby Honold Program) is authorized by 34 U.S.C Sec.  12513. 
The program supports efforts to improve law enforcement's response to 
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking by 
awarding grants to law enforcement agencies to train officers to 
conduct trauma-informed and victim-centered investigations. The planned 
information collection is a short survey about law enforcement 
officers' knowledge and skills. Grantees under the Abby Honold Program 
will be expected to offer the survey to training participants to take 
before and after training as a way to gauge whether, and the extent to 
which, the training increases participants' knowledge and skills 
related to conducting trauma-informed and victim centered 
investigations.
