Retired Detective Justin Boardman spent 15 years in law enforcement with Utah's West Valley City Police Department, including seven years in the Special Victim’s Unit. During that time, he conducted nearly 300 forensic interviews with child victims and 140 interviews with adult sexual assault survivors.


Justin co-authored a groundbreaking Trauma-Informed Victim Interview Protocol (with Donna Kelly) that integrates the Neurobiology of Trauma into investigations—leading to improved prosecutions and critical culture change in law enforcement.


In this conversation, Justin shares:


How trauma affects memory and disclosure


Why traditional investigative approaches often fail survivors


The role of empathy and understanding in law enforcement


His mission to push for victim-centered, suspect-focused, trauma-informed investigations
