The Clallam County Sheriff's Department is proud to have received one of the first COPS Phase One grants. Now we wish to expand our Community Policing Program and further enhance our problem solving efforts in this very important area of domestic violence. We have established an understanding that domestic violence is a community problem requiring a collaborative response. To this end we have contacted the various service and community organizations that have independently dealt with various elements of this problem in the past. Through collaboration we have identified that we would have a higher probability of success in dealing with this problem as a group than we have had as individual entities. Collectively we have identified that the most critical area of difficulty in the treatment of domestic violence is making the batterer/offender accountable. The objective is to concentrate upon getting those batterers/offenders, who are amenable, into appropriate treatment and get victims and children into appropriate treatment. To meet the above objectives and goals we have established a Family Crimes Specialist Investigator position within the Sheriff's Department. This person is working closely with the other community agencies involved as well as monitoring Sheriff's Department cases. As domestic violence includes intra-family sexual offenses in Washington State, this person is also involved in these investigations.

Advocacy and Law Enforcement: Partners Against Domestic Violence By Marie P. Defina and Leonard Wetherbee Law enforcement and social service agencies can work together to provide a and wide range of timely services to victims of domestic violence. Ms. Defina founded the Domestic Violence Training and Resource Institute, in Concord, Massachusetts, and now serves as its executive director. Chief Wetherbee commands the Concord, Massachusetts, Police Department. Domestic disturbances generate some of the most frustrating calls for police officers. Such calls often are repetitious as officers respond to the same homes over and over, take up valuable time that could be spent on other investigative matters, and frequently produce no legal action against offenders. In the late 1980s, increased public awareness that violence in the home is a criminal matter, not a private one, fueled changes in Massachusetts state law.1 Under the revised law, officers no longer are restricted to mediating a volatile situation or merely walking the perpetrator around to cool off. Now, officers may arrest a battering spouse on probable cause. With the burden of pressing charges lifted from the victim, who is often reluctant to proceed against an abusive mate, the number of arrests for domestic violence has increased statewide.2 Other legislative mandates have enhanced law enforcement's efforts to thwart domestic violence. These include: Changes in firearms regulations, which allow for "immediate suspension and surrender (when the order is served) of [the offender's] license to carry firearms and/or [firearms identification] cards as well as any firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, and ammunition...if the plaintiff can demonstrate a substantial likelihood of immediate danger of abuse"3

The Dynamics of Domestic Abuse By Douglas R. Marvin By understanding the specific dynamics of domestic abuse, police officers will be better prepared to respond to this pervasive crime. Lieutenant Marvin serves with the New Providence, New Jersey, Police Department. While on their honeymoon, 23-year-old Mike becomes verbally abusive to his wife, Mary, after she suggests that he has had enough to drink. Mary is surprised by Mike's behavior and his hostile reaction to her. Soon after, however, he apologizes, and because he has always been so kind and gentle, Mary believes him when he tells her that this will never happen again. Several months later, a similar episode occurs. This time, Mary takes the blame, telling herself that these types of incidents are normal in a new marital relationship. She resolves to do things that will make Mike happy and avert confrontations. Three weeks later, Mike hits Mary during an argument. After several violent episodes during a 2-month period, Mary finally calls the police because she fears for her safety. Responding officers arrest Mike and charge him with assault under the state's domestic violence laws. Recognizing the trouble that awaits him, and in an effort to get her back on his side, Mike sends Mary flowers while he is in jail. With the flowers, he includes a long note, in which he expresses his deep sorrow for the pain he has caused her and promises that the behavior will never be repeated. Because his note is so compelling, Mary believes that he has learned his lesson and that their relationship will improve. The following day, she informs the city attorney's office that she does not wish to cooperate with the prosecution. When the prosecutor concludes that the state's case is too weak without Mary as a witness, the state drops its charges against Mike, and he is released from jail.

Since Fiscal Year 1998, the Division of Criminal Justice Services has provided financial assistance to the West Virginia Coalition Against Domestic Violence to better research and serve diverse and traditionally underserved populations in rural communities statewide. Project activities focus on four underserved populations that exist in rural communities throughout West Virginia. These underserved populations include: the elderly, aged 55 and above, where the perpetrators may be spouses, other family members, or other caretaker in non-institutional settings; the disabled, in particular, physical disabilities including the loss or impairment of physical mobility, sight, hearing, and speech;

U.S. Department of Agriculture Safety, Health and Employee Welfare Division Domestic Violence Awareness Handbook Stop the Cycle of Violence! All of you know how much needs to be done to take meaningful steps to end domestic violence and sexual assault. We need tough law enforcement, aggressive prosecutions, effective prevention programs and available shelters for families in distress. Most importantly, we need to insure that more people know and understand that domestic violence is not a private matter. It is a critical national problem that affects us all in every community, in every work place and in every school. Each of us can do more and this handbook shows us how. President Clinton recognized the seriousness of the problem when he signed the Violence Against Women Act as part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994. In the past year, the Department of Justice has sought to combine tough federal penalties along with substantial resources to the states to begin dealing with the problem of domestic violence in a comprehensive, multi-faceted way. States and local law enforcement agencies have been encouraged to begin programs that will enhance their ability to prevent domestic violence, to punish it and to stop the cycle of violence. The Act also established a: National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1-800-799-SAFE.

35. Commentaries By Richard M. Romley Law enforcement Must Intervene in domestic violence. by Richard M. Romley Maricopa County Attorney. (published in the January 2002 issue of Opening Lines). http://www.maricopacountyattorney.org/Newsletters/rrcomments/rrdv.asp

L aw E nforcement M ust I ntervene in D omestic V iolence by Richard M. Romley Maricopa County Attorney published in the January 2002 issue of Opening Lines) The law enforcement community dreads the holiday season. It is not the quest for the perfect gift, the busy shopping malls, the long lines or even eating Aunt Ethyl's fruitcake. What make us cringe around the holiday season is the increase in domestic violence calls. Many officers remember December 2000 when the community was devastated by five domestic violence-related homicides committed in the span of one weekend. With the holidays fast approaching, the staff at Opening Lines decided to dedicate the entire December issue to the topic of Domestic Violence. In most households where family violence is a problem, it is quite common for the offender to become increasingly more violent over time. What may start as verbal abuse will increase to property damage and then to physical violence. Officers might be called to the home several times within this period, each time the offenses progressing from misdemeanors to felonies. I strongly believe that the most compelling reasons for law enforcement to intervene in domestic violence situations is protection: protecting the victim of the abuse and protecting the children who may witness domestic violence or become victims of violence in the home. National studies have shown that violence in the home has significant impact on the victim as well as children who witness domestic violence. Research indicates 68 percent of incarcerated juveniles lived in violent homes. Another study of juvenile crime found that juveniles who grow up in violent homes have a 74 percent greater chance of committing crimes against other people.

Police Domestic Violence / S.A.B.L.E. Program As the victim of a police officer, your situation is very different than that of other victims of domestic violence. You may be afraid to: Call the police - He is the police. Go to a shelter - He knows where the shelters are located. Have him arrested - Responding officers may invoke the code of silence. Take him to court - It's your word against that of an officer, and he knows the system. Seek a conviction - He will probably lose his job and retaliate against you. Drop the charges - You could lose future credibility and protection. All of these approaches could increase your level of danger. If you have ever tried to get help, you may have become discouraged because no one seemed to understand your plight. Women who come to Life Span have helped us develop expertise on this issue. Based on years of experience dealing with victims of domestic violence, Life Span's staff knows that when a client says, "He's a police officer...", it changes everything. We are committed to sharing this information with other police victims and advocates Life Span's Police Domestic Violence Program (S.A.B.L.E.) is a unique project that provides specialized counseling, legal, and advocacy services for victims whose abusers are police or other law enforcement personnel.

PRESS ROOM ABOUT THIS OFFICE JOBS CONTACT US ... SITE MAP Domestic Violence Involving Law Enforcement Officers T he April 2003 murder of Crystal Brame by her husband, Tacoma Police Chief David Brame, focused attention on the issue of domestic violence involving law enforcement officers and on the law enforcement community's response to such incidents. New legislation , signed into law in March 2004, requires law enforcement to work in partnership with community-based domestic violence victim advocates to develop officer-involved domestic violence policies by June 2005. To aid law enforcement agencies in developing these policies, the Attorney General's Office, with the help of other organizations, sponsored an Officer-Involved Domestic Violence Training Pilot in June 2004 in Yakima. Over 50 participants from Kitsap, Yakima, and Walla Walla counties participated in discussions on mandatory reporting, confidentiality and victim safety, recruitment and screening, and weapons. They also worked with faculty experts to develop officer-involved domestic violence policies for their respective communities. A summary and analysis of the training will be shared with law enforcement agencies following the pilot training, and experiences in the pilot exercise will be reported to and serve as a model for the rest of the state's law enforcement agencies as they create their own policies.

Protecting Victims of Domestic Violence A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to Enforcing Orders of Protection Nationwide This project was supported by a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the Violence Against Women Grants Office, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, to the International Association of Chiefs of Police. What is full faith and credit ? In 1994, Congress enacted the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) directing jurisdictions to give full faith and credit to valid orders of protection issued by other jurisdictions. 18 U.S.C.§ 2265. Simply stated, full faith and credit requires that: Valid orders of protection must be enforced to protect victims of domestic violence wherever a violation of an order occurs, regardless of where the order was issued. What does this mean for victims? Abused persons who are granted orders of protection can now call upon law enforcement to protect them and to take all appropriate action against abusers nationwide. What does this mean for abusers?
