DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
- The
victims of domestic violence are primarily women and their children.
- If
you are in a violent home environment you are not alone!
- Report an act of
violence to the police. If you are in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.
The operator will ask you questions in order to determine the nature of
the emergency and provide the best possible response. To report an
incident after danger has subsided, call 376-2488.
- Don't be reluctant
to have the police arrest your spouse. The police are authorized to
arrest a suspected batterer, without a warrant, when the victim shows
visible injuries.
- Talk
to a trained professional to discuss what options are available to
you.
