Historically, law enforcement has been
uncomfortable with domestic violence. This program is designed
to familiarize officers with their changing roles in domestic
violence situations. Course topics will include: The Dynamics of
Abusive Relationships; Officer Safety Concerns; Interviews of
Victims, Suspects, Children and Other Witnesses; Reporting; and
Probable Cause Leading to Arrest and Successful Conviction. The
course will explore proper evidence collection and
documentation, as well as civil orders of protection. The course
begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 4:30 p.m. each day.
