2015 Victims’ Rights Partnership Award: Carrie Hull

Carrie Hull, a Detective with the Ashland Police Department and Director of the You Have Options Program, has facilitated a victim-centered and offender-focused approach to sexual violence at the Department that has resulted in a significant increase in both the number of reported sexual assaults and victim satisfaction with law enforcement. NCVLI is proud to present Carrie with the 2015 Victims’ Rights Partnership Award.

NCVLI’s Victims’ Rights Partnership Award recognizes the collaborative efforts of individuals and/or organizations who have devoted their time to advancing crime victims’ rights.

An Oregon native, Carrie is a Detective with the Ashland Police Department assigned to the You Have Options Program as the Program Director.

Under her guidance, the Ashland Police Department now follows a victim-centered and offender-focused approach to sexual violence that has resulted in a significant increase in both the number of reported sexual assaults and victim satisfaction with law enforcement. Carrie has received the End Violence Against Women International Professional Impact Award, the American Association of University Women Breaking Barriers Achievement Award, the local and regional Ruby Award from Soroptimist International and has been the recipient of three community policing awards and two merit awards in addition to being named Office of the Year at the Ashland Police Department.
