Domestic Violence:
Officer Safety And Officer Involved
This presentation focuses on two high-risk aspects of domestic violence, examining both the danger posed to police as first responders and the danger posed by police as perpetrators. Participants will first learn about the unique dangers of domestic violence calls, factors impacting officer survival, and tips to help keep officers safe “on the scene.”
Next, attendees will explore the issue of officer-involved domestic violence, discovering screening tools, abuse indicators, risk factors, and real-life cases that illustrate the importance of departmental policy and action.
