Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program (DVLAP)
The Domestic Violence Lethality Assessment Program (DVLAP) helps protect people in dangerous situations by identifying when someone may be at the greatest risk of serious harm. Through a short series of questions, officers can connect victims right away with local support services and safety planning. This simple step saves lives, builds trust, and helps keep both victims and officers safer.
Partnerships for Safer Law Enforcement
Early involvement of a victim advocate can make a life-changing difference during a domestic violence investigation. When law enforcement brings an advocate into the process right away, victims receive emotional support, clear guidance, and immediate access to resources that can help them find safety and stability. This partnership ensures that no one faces the crisis alone and that critical steps toward safety begin as soon as possible.
Connecting officers and advocates with tools and training to save lives.
