Domestic Violence and Dispatch
Hosted by the Justice Clearinghouse, this webinar discusses domestic violence and the importance of dispatch in responding to violent incidents. Dispatch calls can often be volatile and may present safety risks for callers and responding officers. This session will focus on steps call takers and dispatchers can take when handling these call types. Knowing what types of questions to ask, as well as some motivations for these situations, can help telecommunicators keep callers and responders safe.

IACP
Enhancing Law Enforcement Response to Victims (ELERV) Strategy – Second Edition
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) published the second edition of ELERV strategy, which introduces police leaders to the benefits, challenges, and methods to adopting victim-centered, trauma-informed philosophies and practices to enhance their victim response. This comprehensive update to the original ELERV Strategy, released in 2009, includes updated content, promising practices, and insights from demonstration sites and research teams that have implemented the ELERV Strategy in their agencies and communities. Structured around the four core principles of leadership, partnering, training, and performance monitoring, the ELERV Strategy can be implemented across all ranks and disciplines at an agency. Concrete steps and tools are provided to support implementation efforts, including videos, foundational documents, linked resources, and customizable templates for immediate use. The ELERV Strategy can create a lasting impact by helping build bridges in communities, increase crime reporting and case resolutions, and increase confidence and trust.
