DV Scenario Training:

This session will include role play-ing of a domestic violence related call and the law enforcement re-sponse. Role players will solicit common law enforcement respons-es through scripted scenarios and respond to law enforcement in a manner that points out the special skills required to ef-fectively deal with domestic violence victims. Interaction with the audience, comprised primarily of victim service providers, will provide valuable input to law enforce-ment on the needs of domestic violence victims and the do’s and don’ts when responding to these type of calls. Facilitators will solicit ideas from the audience regarding how law enforcement can improve an outcome of a spe-cific incident, and also learn the importance of the over-all domestic relationship as it applies to the family dy-namic.

Strangulation and Lethality Training:

This training will include how victim service providers can recognize the often misunderstood strangulation injuries and indicators to better serve the needs of a do-mestic battery victim. The importance of early recogni-tion will be emphasized to allow for early intervention before the onset of lethal force creates another victim. The discussion will also include strangulation as a lethal-ity indicator and how to recognize other lethality indica-tors in a domestic violence situation.
