NYC and Domestic Violence
There is one thing we do not like to hear about and that is domestic violence, but yet in NYC it occurs more often than you may think or like. The NYPD realize that NYC is a pressure cooker and can put a lot of stress on people. Therefore, they put forth steps to train their officers to handle domestic violence.
Did you know that on average the NYPD responds to nearly 600 domestic violence calls daily. So in order to handle this the NYPD established a Domestic Violence Unit that is used to coordinate the Department's overall domestic violence strategy by training its officers as to how to handle domestic violence cases. Currently, there are over 380 Domestic Violence Prevention Officers and Domestic Violence Investigators in the 76 police precincts in NYC.
What is unique about this is that this system is not found in any other state. NYC is the first to develop such a system.
So if you should be a victim of domestic violence, or hear of someone who is, there is help.
