Officer Safety Considerations for Domestic Violence Calls
As part of its continuing focus on officer safety and wellness, IACP has partnered with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice to develop a webinar that examines the officer safety considerations that arise when responding to a domestic violence call.
This webinar examines the complexities and challenges that may be faced by officers when interacting with offenders, victims, and witnesses, identifies tactics and protocols for increasing officer, victim, and civilian safety, and presents quantitative research and case studies to demonstrate the possible dangers of responding to and managing on-scene investigations of domestic violence calls.
The live webinar was held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 and was narrated by Lt. Mark Wynn (ret.) - Nashville (TN) Metropolitan Police Department, one of the nation's leading experts on domestic violence who has trained thousands of public safety personnel on this topic for decades. An archived version of this webinar will made available shortly.
