About
the Center
The
Lubbock Rape Crisis Center (LRCC) was established 1975, and
born out of necessity.
|
A
Human Relations Commission board was appointed by the City Council
to address community needs. At the same time;
a member of the city council’s staff was raped in the parking
lot after getting off work late one evening.
In talking to her
employer about the process of reporting; a gap in services was
discovered. The only female available to do the victim’s sexual
assault interview was a secretary at the police department. Police
Chief J.T. Alley met with Commission Board members and out of
their discussions and concerns the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center
(LRCC) was created.
LRCC was the second Rape Crisis Center to
open in Texas opening six (6) months after the one in Austin,
Texas.

survivors of sexual assault. The staff, the Board of Directors and
the Volunteer Advocates of LRCC are committed to survivors, their trauma,
their courage and the resolution of their crises. |

information on survivors and cases is held
in strict confidence. Release of information to anyone
outside of LRCC is done only under a court-ordered subpoena, a release
signed by the
survivor, or in cases where legal limits of confidentiality apply. |
