Episode Synopsis

Police officers are well trained to respond to domestic violence calls, but they don’t always have a full understanding of what evidence and information is needed to prosecute such cases. American Military University graduate, Scot DuFour, has been an officer since 2004 and currently works as an investigator in a domestic violence prosecutions unit. In this podcast, he shares what steps officers should take every time they respond to a domestic violence call including having the victim undergo a forensic medical exam, documenting stalking behavior, and interviewing children to provide prosecutors the evidence they need to build a strong case against the perpetrator.  Hosted on Acast.
