Description:

The National Prevention Toolkit on Officer Involved Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking is a project of the Law Enforcement Families Partnership (LEFP) at the Institute for Family Violence Studies within Florida State University’s College of Social Work. The Toolkit is part of a broad-based effort to educate officers and support healthy families and communities. Please note that the domestic violence training is not a batterer intervention program and is not for use when violence has already occurred. 

Advantages

  • To educate officers about the dynamics and impact of officer-involved domestic violence.
  • To support a law enforcement culture that prioritizes prevention efforts and officer/family wellness.
  • To encourage officers to ask for help when they need it before violence occurs.
