Assessing Lethality in Domestic Violence Cases

Assessing Lethality in Domestic Violence Cases

Domestic violence calls are among the most dangerous and complex incidents law enforcement officers face. This five-part series equips officers to identify warning signs of lethal violence, apply evidence-based risk assessment tools on scene, and connect high-risk victims to a community-based advocate at the moment it matters most. Officers who screen for lethality are not just documenting a call; they are interrupting a trajectory that is both predictable and preventable. Participants will learn how to move from a reactive response to a proactive strategy that helps prevent intimate partner homicide and improve victim and officer safety. REGISTER
