It is not libraries per say but educating people about the resources available through them. Now I would say it is more about what's available on the Internet but also could be by using some libraries' web pages. Also could be Sheriff's Offices web-pages.
I have often tried to get other Sheriffs' Office and public libraries to look at many other web-sites around the country to improve their own. I really like how this one gives Safety Tips--
Washoe County Sheriff's Office - Northern Nevada's Full Service Law Enforcement Agency
I have family members in Reno, Nevada as well as Las Vegas, Nevada so keep track of what is available for them.
I communicate with police organizations rather often even if these are usually very one sided. It is all about creating an on-going open dialog between victim/witness assistance providers and librarians of all kinds as well as with many other people. A lot of this is very creative crowd sourcing with the help of the many friends I have made since 1991.
