The 911 Call: The Critical Starting Point

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. If certain types of information are gathered and documented during the 911 call, prosecutors can make charging decisions that best support victim safety and offender accountability.
