NTAG^© is dedicated to providing support to programs, alongside the agencies within our North Texas communities, to enforce civil rights, but we are also well aware that enforcement efforts - which are critical tools in combating barriers, ensuring compliance, and advancing reform - are most effective when paired with robust outreach, respect and understanding of the victims we serve. Therefore, we ensure that all NTAG^© Investigators are trauma-informed.

The key role of our NTAG^© Investigators is to help victims understand and navigate the investigation criminal process, as a whole, and the rights and services they are entitled under the Texas Crime Victims Bill of Rights. Additionally, the NTAG^© Investigators helps the victim understand the different roles of the various professionals for whom they may come into contact with — including any limitations on those professionals ability to keep the victims information private, privleged or confidential. This method helps give more clarity of communication between law enforcement agencies, the NTAG^© Investigator, and the victim.
