Team

Charge: To develop the detailed procedures and protocols for first responder police to identify children at domestic violence and community violence scenes and to make provisions for linking families to family support or mental health services as appropriate. This is a core component of the Incident-Based Response System. The procedure may rely on the Domestic Violence HelpLine, as appropriate, and may build on the existing CPD Domestic Violence protocol, as appropriate.

The team has met its charge to develop procedures and protocols for first responder police to identify children at domestic violence and community violence scenes and to link families to appropriate support services. More specific agenda items include:

  • Development of PowerPoint presentation for training purposes
