Assessing for Core Practices in Criminal Justice System Response to Domestic Violence: Using the Best Practice Assessment Guides to Analyze 911 & Patrol

Key steps in the criminal justice system’s response to battering rely on accurate details and descriptions of the scene from 911 call takers and/or dispatchers. Responding patrol officers rely on 911 for information about the incident and elements of potential danger to themselves and those at the scene. Initial police patrol response and investigations build the case and directly impact case disposition. From collecting basic evidence to predominant aggressor determinations to specific questions related to risk and danger, the Praxis Domestic Violence Best Practice Assessment Guides detail best practices in both 911 and police patrol response. Join us for this webinar as we examine the Domestic Violence Best Practice Assessment and its application in communities around the country.
