Robert and Charlotte Hullinger, out of Ohio, founded Parents of Murdered Children, Inc in 1978 after their daughter was murdered by her former boyfriend. National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children (pomc.org) provides emotional support, education, and awareness to the parents and relatives of children that have had their lives taken by repeated acts of violence. POMC works hard towards a day when there is no more violence by peaceful protests allowing their voices to be heard. POMC’s vision statement is “to provide support and assistance to all survivors of homicide victims while working to create a world free of murder.” POMC has 42 years of history and counting. Throughout their website lots of information is posted including events, newsletters and resources. POMC will provide training to professionals in multiple fields, assist any survivor, and provide any individual assistance and support. The website offers links to resources that include multiple tips and information for professionals, doctors, nurses, and survivors to include legal issues. Primary audience for POMC would be loved ones of murdered children, and professionals in the Medical and Criminal Justice field. 5. Tips for communicating in the Criminal Justice Field. While using the research guide I noticed that communication in the Criminal Justice field is very important. People work with tangible items such as police reports, court cases etc., therefore it is important that the criminal justice community stays current. Investigations and reports need to be clear, concise, and understandable. Some examples of communication within this field are a dispatch officer with an individual that called 9-1-1, and then that communication between the dispatcher and police officer responding to the call. Professionals in this field need to stay alert

Professionals within the criminal justice field face both challenging and rewarding scenarios when connecting with the community. There is not one size fits all when addressing others in the workplace. Remember your tone of voice, body language, and demeanor will set the tone. Use formal, appropriate terms, and ensure items are based on facts.
