The APD Domestic Violence Unit improves access to law enforcement, counseling, crisis management, and legal services for survivors of domestic violence and their children, and is a collaborative, community response to family and dating violence. We hope to increase batterer accountability, empower survivors to lead violence-free lives, and lead the community's zero-tolerance policy toward family and dating violence.
