Duncan s Safe Center to get SANE room By Nazarene Harris | April 22, 2021 at 7:50 AM CDT - Updated April 22 at 7:50 AM
DUNCAN, Okla. (TNN) - Duncanâs Safe Center is expanding its services to include offering victims of sexual assault a SANE room where they can receive the specific medical treatment they need.
SANE stands for sexual assault nurse examination. A SANE room is one thatâs reserved specifically for victims of sexual assault to receive medical treatment in and a SANE nurse is someone who is specialized to offer that treatment.
The problem in Stephens County is that there is no SANE nurse for miles and victims of sexual assault in the area have to wait hours to receive the treatment they need.

This week is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, and the Cape Coral Police Department has put certain steps in place for neighbors in the community who become victims to crime.
The CCPD offers several programs as well as one-on-one assistance to help people in crisis. The victim assistance unit says it deals with around 5,000 cases a year, and because Cape Coral’s population is booming, that number will probably only continue to go up.
But these aren’t all crime victims in need of help: the unit deals with non-victims as well. That could mean anything from a death in the family to assisting the elderly. Some of the victim assistance advocates told WINK News what’s most rewarding about their jobs.
