Mission

The Domestic Violence Unit is responsible for the implementation, coordination and review of Police Strategy No. 4, "Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence." This unit identifies emerging issues and concerns and develops an appropriate Department response, while monitoring performance indicators and providing feedback to commands concerned. In addition to serving as Department representative at Domestic Violence forums, the unit serves as the Department liaison with other governmental agencies including the Mayor's Office, New York State Office for Prevention of Domestic Violence and various victim advocacy and policy groups.

The Office of the Chief of Department's Domestic Violence Unit has created three new domestic violence brochures. These brochures are designed to inform the victim of the facts concerning domestic violence and strategies that can be employed to improve his/her situation.
